Really fun area of practice. You get to become an expert in very specific and technical topics, and work with many really smart healthcare professionals. It’s also one of the few areas that regularly go to trial. You have to like being a litigator.

Thank you for this information! I am glad you shared because I was told that the cases rarely went to trial.

Obtaining / sorting / reviewing / taking notes of medical records is suuuuch a pain in the ass

Thank you!

Formulaic. Generally bills low on the already low insurance defense scale. No novel legal issues. You need to be a good actor for juries mostly. Hard to transfer out of because it’s not prestigious in the legal profession generally.

Thank you do you think employment law would be a better fit for transitioning out?

Anyone been able to work from Dubai for a UK/US firm and benefit from no taxes? I know if you are a US citizen you pay taxes where you are globally, but if you are British, then you only pay income tax on UK income - so if you live more than half the year abroad you are classed as non-domicile resident, but wanted to hear if anyone’s done this or heard about it?

Hi all! I was thinking about changing industries. I am currently an underwriter for for-hire transportation with 7.5 YOE. Wondering what others have found to be transferable skills or if anyone has made a career change. Also curious what other career paths other underwriters have gone on (possible changing departments or line of business, etc). Any info or suggestions appreciated!!

Decided that I’m leaving audit today. Trying to understand the full range of opportunities in forensics. Will have my CPA and CFE. So far, I understand that there are client-serving firms like FTI and then the B4 will have forensics arms as well. What are some other forensic accounting roles? Pros and cons? Better than audit? Honestly just looking to learn anything.
