Hello!
I'm a junior international associate in the east coast. Licensed in Massachusetts and New York. I work in Latam M&A.
My husband just got a job in Austin, Texas. Do you think there would be opportunities for me in Austin? What about going in house or working internationally without getting licensed? I have 2 kids and hoping to have one more so I would really value some WLB. Any groups I should connect to?
Thank you!!

Really hard to get a law firm job in Austin. Only 7 lateral moves in 2 months. Houston has much more opportunities on law firm side.

I’m only law firm side. But yes more in house jobs in Austin for sure.

There are big law firms in Austin. But assuming you are the breadwinner, shouldn’t he be making this sacrifice and try to find a job on the east coast? Is the job in austin paying more then big law? Houston is a major big law market and only a few hours away from Austin, so maybe look into Houston. Latham has a big office there

I’m a 4th-year at a midsize firm doing mostly oil and gas work, but I’m looking to change practice areas so I can get away from a dying/morally problematic industry and move into EC/VC, Corporate, tech transactions, and/or privacy and cybersecurity (have CIPP/US & /E).
