Entering my 2nd year as a medical malpractice (insurance) defense litigator. My billables are 2200 per year, even during WFH and COVID while the courts are moving very slowly. Any advice as to what I should look into for an exit? I can’t hit those billables while maintaining my sanity.

Insurance defense is a common practice area with high billables. That’s typical. I’m not sure I understand your Question about what to look for in an exit....

Thank you, Recruiter 1! Just messaged you.

I'm doing the same thing rn. I used to do construction and business litigation, plaintiff's side, and I liked that better. Still scratch the complex litigation itch but it wasn't so many hours. If you like civil litigation but just find med mal defense is too much, you may like something like that. Neither has really been "it" for me though so I'm still looking at something else.

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.

I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks
