Can you work as a paralegal without a paralegal certificate? Asking for a friend. Ultimate goal is law school (assuming paralegal work isn’t a huge turn off). Looking at roles in NY or DC & it’s unclear! TIA

Might be easier to get a role with the certificate, but it’s not a requirement.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
