Hello, I hope you're all doing well! I've had this question for quite a while now, do you all focus on a specific niche or go back and forth between few industries?

I'm just healthcare. Was a scientist for a long time first. Pharma copy is a whole industry in of itself because of the regs and the science behind the copy. Finance also has a lot of specialised writers.

But I also know writers who write anything. Long, short, b2b, b2c. I think it very much depends on who you are, and whether specialising or being flexible is your best route to success.

2017 grad so technically a 4th year. Lateraled to a CRE boutique in NYC that’s a major player. Learned quickly that my experience/knowledge/organization is not up to par (was a COG in the machine at prior firm). Just had EOY review and, though positive sounding, they’re dropping me to a 3rd year to ensure I’m not billing as a 4th year and able to do the work to learn/get up to par. I feel pretty okay about it (market salary deduction notwithstanding), but want to make sure I’m not being naive.

I can’t help but feel stuck in my career. I’m a licensed attorney in another country, but been working as a law clerk in a firm for about a year now.
