I’ve definitely thought about it, especially with the increased demand due to the pandemic. The burnout is real. I have been applying to anything and everything that looks like it might pay enough and be in alignment with my natural talents. And for all the talk of the great resignation, people don’t seem to want to hire if the resume History Doesn’t match. It’s been super frustrating.

The field is so wide and multi disciplined allowing for teaching, research, administration, coaching, supervising - maybe a change of organization or geographic local might help?

I am in need of advice. I've spent the last few years working on the foundations for a career in privacy and would like to keep doing so. But not in practice due to a prior suspension, character limits limit explanation, and I don't want that life. I applied for my dream job for my first major career goal and was told not just no but never. Never would I be allowed to work in my company's legal department.

Is this what I should expect? Nevers? Just give up and regroup?
Thanks folks.

Hi Moms, just had baby #2 and we want to upgrade our family car from Toyota Rav4 to a 3-row luxury SUV that's nice looking inside and outside, reliable and has decent cargo space too. My husband doesn't like the exterior of Grand Wagoner. We are considering the Grand Cherokee, Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator. But I have read terrible reviews about Escalade. Folks seem to like GMC Yukon Denali but I'm worried it'll be too big for me to drive. Appreciate recommendations / thoughts. Thanks!
