It's not as difficult to jump from liti to inhouse as most people think. Actually, moving when you're junior is better since your salary expectations are lower, so the prospect of matching their budget is higher. No matter how experienced you are as a litigator, it doesn't translate directly to relevant exp in the hirers' eyes for in-house so you're better off leaving early.

There are actually a ton of slack inhouse roles around even in good companies. Many of your friends have probably landed these roles though they would probably not broadcast the fact that they're relaxing half the time. Switching from billiable work to business support or business-as-usual role, changes the very nature of the job and its hours. Fire drills are rare, unlike private practice where you're fighting a bushfire every other Friday.
