Thoughts on going in house early? I am just under a year in practice coming from a midsize data privacy firm. I received an offer for a bigger law firm and the in house recruiter said I should be expecting an offer for a privacy counsel role at a fintech company. I’ve obviously never worked in house and think I would prefer it. Any idea on outcomes if I want to move to other in house roles later or back to a firm?

I went in-house very early and don’t regret it. I spent 8 years in corporate America before going to law school, I just do better in that environment.

Was at a firm for a year and hated it.

Thanks. I have a similar background and didn’t love my first year at a firm and not sure I want to go back !

I wouldn’t but if you know that’s where you want to be, there is no harm in going in early. I just can’t imagine wanting to have company-specific risk and only deal with one client ever, let alone that early, and risk a lack of broad training and exposure, among other things.
