Have a lawyer friend who loves the idea of strategy consulting, but I don’t know of any consultants with legal backgrounds. Anyone have ideas for entry points, roles or firms that would take lawyers?

Lots of lawyers here. It takes diverse backgrounds to build a management consulting Firm. Like for everyone else, however, prior non-consulting experience doesn’t mean you know how to consult. Your friend would likely start as an Associate.

Also depends what type of law you specialized in. I started in M&A law and ended up in procurement and turn around work through a lot contract reading and negotiating. If you’re employment law, I can see that fitting well with People & Talent groups etc. Criminal law or family law may be a harder fit.

Hi Fishes
My Android career is in a good shape in India. My parents are considering a marriage alliance with an NRI who is a Civil engineer in Texas. If I move with him by leaving my current job, what are my job prospects in Texas? How long does it usually take to get work visa and how easy/tough is it to get a job there considering I have 6+ years of experience in the field?

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.
