What don’t you like about it? I think it’s best to run towards something than just desperately running away from something you didn’t like. Once you know what you actually want to do, start with looking for opportunities there or something that will lead there.

Make it known to a recruiter that you're looking to pivot into a different practice area. You have litigation skills that are transferable across the board into pretty much any substantive area of law so long as it involves litigation. Highlight that on your resumé.

I left ID after a year & half of being in it and I landed into commercial lit. People pivot into different areas everyday and so can you. Best wishes!

Go in house to an insurance company. Still stressful, but at least you’re using your degree, get paid to supervise the lawyers/have them kiss your ass, and if you’re ambitious, you can climb the ladder into executive positions with potential to earn more than many lawyers. Watched my wife do exactly that.

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office.

I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
