Hello guys ... I am a civil/Environmental engineer with a 5year experience in road infrastructure and in project management. Presently working on CAD designs and also on Environmental impact analysis. I have a master's in Engineering
I just got to the USA from Cameroon 🇨🇲 and it's been pretty much difficult for me to get a proper internship to insert myself and start working .
If anyone could be opportune to mentor me my professional transition , I will greatly appreciate

Thank you

1st yr at a nyc v50 firm doing general transactional work. I know the lateral market for transactional lawyers is hot but not as hot for juniors. I just want a change of scenery because my current firm is bleeding good associates / not giving great training imo / and just seems small. Would lateralling this early feasible? Would it look bad on my resume?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
