Non-M&A exit options for M&A biglaw

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Oct 28, 2025 11:15 am

What are some in house exit options for M&A associates who are not interested in continuing to do M&A? I'm so interested in deal work and I doubt this feeling will change even if I'm in house.

In terms of other exits, I've heard there's generalist roles, but I can't imagine doing a mix of contracts, employment, and privacy makes a job interesting just because you're doing a bunch of "random" things? I'd greatly appreciate any TLS wisdom, and TIA.
