[quote=Anonymous]I've had an in house role at my current company for almost a decade.  It's a great role and I do lots of interesting work and am paid well.  But our legal department has a very flat structure so there's not really an opportunity for advancement.

I had a colleague recommend that I apply to another in house role at a similar company.  I was initially interested because it sounded like a step up, but after a round of interviews it sounds like it would be more of a lateral move with similar work.  I'd probably initially give up some autonomy as the new person, but hopefully that would resolve as I gained a reputation.  The org has some more layers so there's perhaps more of an opportunity to advance, but I'd also be a bit lower in the org structure because there are layers.

Would you move for a lateral role?  What would convince you?  I'd like to eventually move into an in house leadership role, but am not sure if this will really help me advance towards that goal.[/quote]
