Exit options from entry-level in-house?
Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2015 11:50 am
I'm working as an entry-level in-house counsel in a F500, and I'm just wondering what my exit options are.
The company itself isn't bad, but I hate the geographical area (the company's other offices are in similarly crappy cities/towns, so transferring won't help), the pay isn't great (though COL is low), and I'm working in a practice area that I have very little interest in (non-finance, so not particularly portable--think along the lines of insurance). I'm happy to have a job and to put in my couple years here while I learn whatever skills make me more marketable, but where does one go from here?
