Maybe an example will help. Not the best example probably but it’s an idea. In litigation get discovery request. Docket it. You get with the client going through documents and what not looking for responsive or privileged documents. Organize it. Deal with the responses. File it. In house you manage corporate standing to do business in various states. You docket each state, see what is required to be “produced” to the state, gather the production, organize it, file it. Probably a bad example but hopefully you get the idea. Different subject matter but very similar process. I suggest going through job postings and mapping out how your skills are the same…different subject matter but same skills. And never forget we all had to learn when we got started in a firm or corporation.

Corporate/in house has the potential to be less stressful depending on the role and company. Why not try to see what comes of this?
I left litigation along time ago to go in house mid size company. I truly believe the skills from litigation translate easily to in house. Handling multiple priorities, ability to learn anything and everything in litigation, building relationships with multiple departments and team mates is the same as multiple cases, clients, partners, and associates. Managing workload is 90% same process regardless if it’s litigation or anything else.
Recruiters don’t look at the type of law you work in80% of the time. Corporate is where most paralegals work in so they may have been playing the odds. Are you interested in changing fields?
Not sure how it is in litigation (I have always worked in corporate-17 years) but it can have its share of stresses, especially if the firm you work for treat you like crap or if the corporate attorneys don’t n ow how to manage their practice.

Litigation skills are very transferable! I’d apply.
I was a senior Corp paralegal. You need to go to a firm where you'll be taught, and then you could take a job like this. In house, no one will teach a whole role at a Sr salary.
Skills are transferable like attention to detail, but you won't know how to apply for EDGAR codes, reconcile cap, run a closing or organize a data room.
Go for it! I am a “corporate” paralegal and when I applied, it required a masters degree and 10 years experience in corporate. I had only 5 years in PI. I’m so happy now. If you wanna talk more, feel free to reach out. I’m always looking for paralegal friends.
