Yes and no.
- Businesses that were already on a downward spiral, their retainers went down and stayed.
- Businesses that had a somewhat temporary revenue impact, they brought back the full retainers.

Ideas for law-adjacent positions in the pharmaceutical/biotech sphere? I see various positions but none post salary so I have no idea how that would match up with expectations. It also seems like most jobs want a bachelors degree plus a few years experience or 8-10 years of experience (without much in between). For reference, I have a MS and a JD with 1 year in biotech and 3 years in biglaw pharma regulatory/litigation.
