When considering a move in house, is it easy to get pigeonholed into an industry even when you’re a generalist role? Have wanted to go in house for some time. Have an offer from a great company, but it’s not necessarily the industry I want to be in long term. Trying to weigh whether it’s better to go in house for an opportunity I’m sure I like (and try to lateral later if I decide I want to move industries) or stay at law firm and try to go straight to preferred industry in house role.

Getting your first in house role is the hardest part. Once you have in house experience it opens doors for future in house roles. Obviously ideally you’d land in the industry you want first, but as a generalist that’s less important.
