Any tips for finding jobs in the legal field or JD advantage roles? I left my toxic job at the end of April to focus on finding a new role. I have a JD (no law license) with 5+ years of experience in personal injury, mass torts, management, legal operations, etc. and I've applied to over 70 jobs with no luck. I know I'm probably doing something wrong but I can't seem to identify what that is.

I’m assuming that you’ve primarily worked on the plaintiff side. Are you applying to jobs at firms where they fear a potential conflict (present/future) or jobs on the plaintiff side?
