Took a non-traditional job that promoted me which is cool but I don't have any transferable skills because I am a generalist in nearly every area and a specialist in things that are very specific to my current company.
Is the only credited path here to get an MBA?

1. What is my "level?" My a paper jockey for a mid-sized company.
2. Are people seriously stuck in these jobs for 20, 30 years?
I would legitimately consider suicide.
I see boomers and their bios and it's ridiculous. 3 years at this. 3 years at that. Moving up all the while.

natural to feel this way at 30
all I can say is that don't focus so much on pay, etc. think about what you want. at 25 I wanted a big city life. at 30 I wanted a house, not to be a wagecuck.
not sure if I'll ever make what I did before but I have a better life in ARE country for less money. better women, everything.

Currently I make about 175K all-in with bonus. It's actually above industry standard so it's even harder for me to move around because I can't get a job that pays this much.
I like what I do but I don't want to stay at my current company forever. You get bored and you start to hate the red tape and all the little things about the job. I want the opportunity to do something more. The "C-suite" at my current job are not that impressive. I just can't get a path to get in there.
I just don't want to be stuck in the same job when I am 60 and that's an actual possibility it seems.

all are the same or worse
like current job but it's the end of the line for me; I work in a secondary office so I can't make it to the c-suite; I can get 2-3% salary bumps but that's like 150-250K range if I stayed here forever
my industry has a lot of growth, there's no question there, it's just that my particular niche in the industry requires me being more specialized and I simply won't be in my current job
so I feel stuck, because I am a generalist, and because I am overpaid so I can't move w/o a pay cut, and likely a harder job too (current role is cushy)

Maybe become independent consultant and work with specialist consultants that you can farm shit out to as necessary. You'll provide the value that you can while also steering clients to the right specialists and take a cut.
Alternatively, you sound like a decent candidate for MBA but given your salary it might not payoff for a while unless you can get your company to pay for it or something.

You’re thinking about this all wrong. You don’t apply to jobs describing whatever experience you actually have. I worked on almost exclusively securities lit in biglaw and that had zero transferability anywhere. You apply to jobs and bluff about what you do. Put “senior counsel” as your title.
If you really are in tech/health/finance, those are huge industries with tons of legal jobs. You prob have to stay a lawyer but get a better lawyer job than the one you have if you feel stuck.

ty nutella.
1. Isn't "senior counsel" as opposed to "senior ___ counsel" almost an assured way of getting screwed when HR does a background check? pretty big lie of omission ... does it really matter? senior ___ counsel is still a senior counsel of sorts
2. The problem is that I don't have a BIGLAW background, I'm not really that smart, and I am a generalist in my job, so all of the legal work in this area is for people like you, not for me
That's why I am considering an MBA as a path to something else

During a background check, former employers generally only confirm dates worked, not title. Also the person doing the background check isn’t looking at your resume and even if they are comparing, the idea that “senior counsel” is somehow a lie from “senior compliance counsel” or whatever doesn’t even cross HR’s mind. It’s a lie if you say “senior counsel” and your title was “senior admin assistant.”
Also you have something even better than a biglaw background; you are already in house and in house prefers to hire in house over biglaw. Being smart and having biglaw doesn’t matter at all. Nobody in big law has anything over you.
The MBA route is stupid. If youre really not that smart, you prob can’t get into a top 10 program anyway and you can spend a shit ton of money only to come out with a job that pays significantly less than what you currently get paid at the same company or industry. In fact all the MBAs I know with some generic corporate strategy job at P&G or whatever are being paid the same as you.
Stick in your path. You just need to get more creative about selling your experience.

maybe, but after two years out of the workforce + debt it's a tough sell.
I guess if you insist on, and can land, a high finance role or are committed to consulting it's worth it. Otherwise no.
F500 roles out of top MBAs are making way less than 175k.
