After covid, many companies would realise that they can just do a lot of the corporate lawyering jobs in house.
Eventually things like registration of charges etc, I suspect these can be done in house too. Regulators will look at how to automate it with Corppass etc.
Now we have liability and quantum calculators for motor accident and personal injury.
Everything will eventually be automated, work processes improved further.
Increasingly it will become hard to earn a lot. With inflation and salary stagnated, this problem is exacerbated further
By extension of this logic, wouldn't in-house counsel roles STRAIGHT out of law school be the more sensible option in that case?

Putting the obvious 20-30% cut in salary aside, wont doing that put oneself in greater stead to last longer in the legal industry as compared to joining private practice from the get go?
