Florida attorneys: You guys feel tort reform? Because I been on the market trying to get a PI gig as a 6th year, and it seems almost nonexistent. I spoke to a recruiter and she said its been hard to fill both defense and plaintiff PI positions. places want newer attorneys.

Forget about trying to business as a little guy too! No chiros etc. Are giving out work unless you been with them for some time.

Maybe its time to explore a new area. Would love to know if you guys noticed it.

The market is just bad right now in FL. I’ve been looking since July with 14 YOE for mostly ID but now branching out to more practice areas that I have some experience in and all jobs want 1 - 5 years max experience. Entry level pay too of course. I recently started applying to non legal jobs but they won’t bite as they know I won’t be around for a long time. Humbling to get denied from fast food and retail gigs even with past experience from over a decade ago but I digress. Wish you luck and will come back if I see any PI gigs that may be of interest to you.

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about. It’s constant and generally there’s not many updates to give & I’d just rather talk about other things. I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy
