I'm a first-year in an administrative practice (electricity) at a V25. What can someone hyper-specialized like me do after biglaw? Should I jump to corp/lit (I do a little of both) before it's too late, or try to do more work in those practices?

No. Your skillset will be in crazy high demand at places like Sunrun, PE fims like Generate, grid operators. Get some project finance experience too and you could be worth a huge premium.
