My ultimate goal is to go in house down the road. I recently (6 months) started at a small, boutique firm handling transactions, privacy and ai work. It’s cool and I’m learning a lot (in year 2 practicing), and the money is decent (about $130k). Am I on the right path for in house, or should I look for a BL job? I have an upcoming secondment at a major tech company coming up soon as well (one of the big 5).
