You will need to be prepared for a lot of middle-management politicking when you go in-house, it's a different skill set altogether. Burnout is also possible from dealing with too many ridiculous people.

This was pre-covid though, so the market may be different now.

The scope of work you do will usually depend on company requirements - you need to ask about this beforehand so you know what you're getting yourself into. Companies are generally quite clear what they want from you and this is necessary for cost allocation purposes ie which entity/department pays what percentage of your salary.

I was with a european mnc and they weren't too interested in corporate work. I would say my work was 10% liti management 40% commercial 25% corporate/housekeeping 25% compliance.
