Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

You’ll need to study the dark arts of turning down work and being unreliable in the evenings until you get PIPed and then taking mental health leave then getting another offer just before you are fired and then repeating the same cycle until your professional reputation amongst those who know you is completely destroyed and then you go inhouse for less money than others but at least you lived your life while you were still young.
How tf do you get a 3 year overseas secondment. Jealous

The honest truth is that V10 is not that relevant if you are looking to go in house. You can exit, obviously, but at your seniority level the pay would be pretty low and will not rise in the same way as at a biglaw firm. If you can stay in the system for two or three more years, even if you lateral to a lower ranked firm, that would be better in my opinion.
I did this at my v10 (by being less than stellar/hyper responsive but still reliable), and ended up with a secondment my third year at a major client, then switched to another v10 for a year (turning down work often but for the ones i do take i do well) before taking a mental health leave.

Need to grind for a couple more years before higher paying in house opportunities start to open up. But you can also lateral to a more chill firm, hang out for a couple years, then make the move in house.
I left as a second year. As others have said, your first in-house role will be pretty low pay (I was like 170). But if you’re good and make a couple jumps, you can get pretty quick and substantial increases. I’m c/o 2020 now making over 400k.
You can piece everything together that would be helpful to you based on what I’ve already revealed. If you’re trying to follow in my footsteps exactly, that is the wrong approach. This is not going to be like law school -> biglaw where there’s a ridiculously well trodden path to follow. You’ll need some hustle. Compared to even a few years ago the economy is different, companies are different, and you and I are different.
Good luck
