Of course all these comments are correct. If you can avoid ID from the beginning do it.

That’s firm dependent. When I was going through a rough patch the managing partner offered to staff me on other practice areas but your results may vary.
I wouldn’t go it exclusively with that in mind without talking to your employer about the possibility AFTER you’ve paid your ID dues.

Don’t.

At what point are you too specialized to lateral to internal audit?

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample.

Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard
