Dealing with layoffs at my company and am about to have a second round interview with a fairly big PE firm for a 6 month contract position. Doesn’t cover health insurance which can be expensive but there is an opportunity for an offer afterwards if performance is satisfactory. Is it worth the gamble to take this contract position and get a taste of what the culture is like or just continue looking for jobs/a potential career change?

I’m so happy to say that after about 5 years of being here, I’m finally done with the exam!!! In a world full of internet trolls, it was so refreshing to be on this thread while we all cheered for each other and pushed each other to climb over our failures and discouragements. Thank you for all who have posted helpful comments, asked poignant questions and left their encouragement! If I can pass, you will pass! Best of luck everyone!

Didn't have top grades, wasn't on law review. Worked at a midsize firm and was laid off in march-- have about 3 years experience in a hot practice area. Have been applying and had some interviews at larger shops but nothing has come of it.

Where would you go from here if you were me? Was making good money at the midsize...

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot.

I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
