A regular corp employee may not get pay increment or bonus or may end up getting retrenched/ fired. Truck load of office politics to deal with within and across depts. Also dunno where the arrow come from.

Do people get fired from law firms?
I can't speak for most of this post but it also seems that corp has higher barriers to entry in being a partner. Correct me if I'm wrong - I don't think it's possible to get big corporate clients at a senior level easily, unless you're from a brand name firm. Harder to survive as a partner doing transactional work.

Seems like a lot of them move inhouse.

Whereas for litigation there is a constant flow of work.

Can someone elaborate? I am not sure which area is better
