That’s funny I’m currently going from in house back to a law firm (assuming I pass conflicts).

To answer your question, I applied to consulting firms and one of them hired me and gave me a truckload of money

I felt this way for a long time and interviewed for various in house roles for a good 2 years. A couple of times making it to the final interview and just not getting the role. I will say that transitioning from ID to in house can be difficult. I shifted gears and took a role at a large carrier where I still use my knowledge and experience from private practice. It’s more money and no billables. I would recommend looking there! Good luck. I know the feeling all too well. Just be open to different opportunities.

Thank you I appreciate the insight! It’s been a struggle. I feel like I made the wrong move getting into this practice area

Would still try it out tho bc I’m desperate to leave lit, but don’t want to make a faux pas. Any insights appreciated!
