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.

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.
