I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach.

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April.
