I’ve been in a comfortable, low stress, in-house job for about 3 years now. On paper it sounds great- decent salary, great pension and flexibility, mostly WFH, huge amounts of autonomy. For the first year or so I absolutely loved it and it felt like the perfect antidote after being burnt out in previous role in law firm, but increasingly I’m struggling to find motivation and am just pretty bored. There’s zero scope for progression (dead man’s shoes scenario with no realistic prospect of the relevant people leaving) and in-house roles in my practice area only come up very rarely so feel a bit like I’m stagnating. I’m also starting to wonder whether - by moving in-house - I’ve actually lost a lot of the parts of the job I most enjoyed, eg BD, transaction management, training junior colleagues etc. Part of me wonders whether I should go back into PP but the other part of me worries I’d be trading boredom for stress. Has anyone else been in this position? What did you do?
