Is any of this mitigated by being at a "top" firm? Is it easier to land something coming out of (non WLRK/Cravath) elite firms, or do in-house not really care about firm prestige when hiring? I could even see the reputation for less substantive work/client interaction for juniors at megafirms hurting exit ops? As someone choosing between firms/practice groups right now, what would your advice be to put myself in a good position to land an in-house gig?
It's not easy to go in house. It's not a credentials thing it's a right place right time thing.

I don't know what it's like from a non-top firm but I know quite a few people trying to make in-house happen from a top firm and they've been failing.

But they're litigators.
