Absolutely, I have been thinking about for years. There even people like “new las business model” and “elder law college” that help lawyers learn a new practice area. I did some research on disbarred attorneys b/c they can’t practice law. Not all of them become paralegals, Many open small businesses or go back to school. One opened a car shop. One started a digital marketing company. That’s just some ideas. I think there is money in started a company that help lawyers get out of the law.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide.

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.
