Yes but it's difficult for two reasons. One, hardly anyone would hire you without the requisite and relevant PQE (3-5 years doing corporate work). Second, if you go in now as a 1st yearer, your knowledge and salary are both severely capped. It could be very tough if you want to transition back into practice later.

The upside is that because corporate roles at the lower level seem to be falling, it's your only way to get exposure to that kind of work.

May I ask why you think compliance is dead end?
