3rd-year ID associate in South Florida. $140k salary, 2160 billable requirement, but 2400 encouraged. I mostly WFH, which helps, but litigation stress feels unsustainable with a 9-month-old baby. I can't stay home for financial reasons and I carry the family health insurance. Looking for advice on remote/ possibly non-litigation roles I may be qualified for without taking a major pay cut. I have very limited experience in anything but ID (clerk at family law firm, dependency). Any hope/input?

Pay cut?? Almost anything else should pay more. You’re being severely underpaid for 2160

What size firm are you working for? How did you do in school? What city? Might have a referral for PI side if you’re interested.

I was working in ID (also in SFL) for the last 8 years and was finally able to break out into a corporate role. I was worried for so long that I would be pigeonholed into that area. but luckily was given an opportunity in a different area. Those skills can be transferred over, just need to phrase it correctly. I used AI to help me tailor my resume for the specific positions I was applying for
