I believe an LLM from a good university would assist in certain in-house roles, but it is definitely not a pre-requisite.

It was a good to have for me... and tbh, i didn't take my LLM because i thought it would improve my chances at a job. I did it to take a break from practice and before moving in-house. I had already gotten offers for in-house positions prior to taking my LLM - but i wanted to take a break and travel a little before moving, so made the decision not to go in-house immediately.
