1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

The pay is okayish (not T-1 level, but not bad for in-house), and I’m moving up the chain pretty quickly due to a unique set of circumstances (which resulted in me being recently offered the role of looking after a group company since they liked my work). The exposure is fairly good for my position and is certain to increase post the coming review cycle.
Is it possible to transition to a tier-1 law firm with my profile? I can jump to other in-house roles (which I don’t want to since this is going well), but I feel the exposure of a big law firm will be far more helpful since it is obvious from our dealings with law firms I am lacking in quite a few areas, not to mention the future potential it offers.
I wish to stay in a corporate department, but I wouldn’t mind being involved in some litigation as well. Also, I come from a good college, so the college name isn’t as much of a barrier.
