Wondering if this is a unique situation? Have been in my specialty for 10 years. MUCH senior attorney in a completely different specialty came in a few years ago, determines he doesn’t want to do his specialty anymore, identifies my specialty (which he has no experience) as what he would like to do instead. My company then creates a senior position for him in my specialty (which I previously asked for) which would have been the next step for me promotion wise. Anyone else?

Anyone have advice for picking your first in-house job? Anything you wish you’d considered when you first went in-house? E.g., is all in-house experience in a given field considered equal, or is there an equivalent of biglaw on a resume for in-house lateraling purposes?
