Career Options?

I graduated college almost a year ago and since then have gotten my life and health insurance licenses and SIE, and begun studying for series 6 but I’m not so sure I want to continue on the path towards financial advisor.

Can anyone recommend:

a) a company I can work towards financial advisor without selling to my family and friends
b) ways to set myself up for a financial analyst job
c) other finance careers that I could get into without much experience

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

What do you think about switching tech stacks vs becoming an expert in one stack? I am a backend Java engineer, and have solely used Java since I've started my software engineering career about 2 years ago. I don't know whether I should explore other tech stacks while I'm young, or instead focus on becoming a Java expert, given that I enjoy working in Java.

Cross posting this in the BigLaw bowl.

I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?

Currently in the final stages of the interviewing process for a "non-partnership track attorney" position at a top-ranked big law firm.
