No. I was already in-house with a F500 in a regional role.

The problem is moving up. I started out my in-house career with a German company, and everyone in the legal and compliance department (at HQ) had at least a masters. Many of them had PhDs.

I thereafter left the German company and was offered a position with a US company which stated in their jd that post-grad degree was preferable. I did not take up this offer.

Instead, I joined a European JV and in the welcome email sent to global legal colleagues introducing me, head office wrote: xx graduated from King's College, London with an LLM in xxxx".
