I think he/she was referring to corporate legal executive/associate. I don't think MNCs that can afford in house corporate counsel will take in junior lawyers without the required experience in practicing law outside.
Most of the corporate counsels I see are either mid careers who have been practicing or consulting for some years outside or those who slowly moved up the internal legal department ranks over many years.
