I’ve really, really enjoyed it. I had sought anecdotes on here before accepting my offer and the consensus seemed to be that it was a sweatshop and generally similar to biglaw when it comes to work-life balance, but that hasn’t been my experience at all. The expectation is that I should be working 40 hours a week and I have been told that if it rises above that level that I’ll be given help. The people are intelligent but kind and the work has been interesting. It’s a big company so experiences would surely vary, but I am so, so glad I made the switch and would consider the move a major step up from law firm life.

How often are any of you asked to write demand letters? I'd like to start a demand letter writing side gig, but I'm wondering if most people resort to just writing them themselves instead of hiring an attorney. Also, are there any ethical concerns with writing a demand letter with no intent of representing the client in a lawsuit? I really just want to provide clients with a low-cost means of settling relatively minor disputes.
