Many law firm attorneys dream of landing an in-house job, and some spend years searching without success. Even lawyers who attended Ivy League schools and have long tenures as partners at AmLaw 100 firms aren’t always successful in making the transition to a coveted in-house position. There are many reasons for this, including bad luck and poor timing, but sometimes the culprit is something such as: lack of awareness of opportunities; a resume or interview that highlights the experience and skills sought by large law firms rather than large corporations; giving up on the search too quickly or not moving quickly enough when openings arise; or even a failure to showcase an understanding of the corporate environment.
