Hello Team! I'm a lawyer that is getting my M.S. in horticultural and Soil science. I'm looking to find a way to combine my passion for the law with my passion for plants and I think cannabis might be the perfect place. I've been looking for established companies (curaleaf, Columbia, etc.) and VCs.

Having said that, I'm not finding many opportunities or even getting traction which is shocking given the need for lawyers in the industry (new laws, Compliance requirements etc.) Any suggestions?

Where have you applied? Most cannabis companies are looking for a legal team that have experience in alcohol or any regulated market. I would also put in your cover letter your passion for the plant.

Thanks for the like! Any suggestions are appreciated!

That's the thing - I haven't found many opportunities. Ascend and Curaleaf are the only two that I've seen so far.

Also I have a background in Healthcare, infotech and various other compliance functions fo what that's worth

sounds fun. I know a thing or two about.. soil.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
