In-house they usually look for prosecution + contractual work. But honestly, those kind of jobs are very limited. Cause unless its pharma (B2C) or FMCG company, they usually do not need an inhouse dedicated resource for IP.
So best bet is to do something apart from IP.
Moving to in-house part- here is the tricky thing. Moving to in-house is possible if you are doing EVERYTHING in IP. As in Prosecution + litigation + contracts + transaction and now they want someone who is also aware of IT compliances. It is difficult to find a team which does everything since law firms are based on the model of specialisations. That said, there are positions solely for prosecution, but they are very limited. and prosecution is a very very routine work.
Remuneration part - No, partners are involved only for IP compliance part. that is not an integeral part of any deal. Relax kid.
