I was a litigator for about 5-6 years before deciding to make the move to in-house. As others have shared, having a general liti background does add extra steps if you want to land a good in-house role, but it's not impossible. You really have to plan your next couple of job moves and be able to explain to an interviewer how each move adds something to your skillset and makes you a better lawyer. You should be able to string together each job in a convincing narrative. If you're lucky, you may be able to find an in-house role which actually values your litigation experience. Good luck!
