Hey all, first time poster here. My situation is generally that for the past 6 years I built up what was a fairly successful practice in New Jersey that was completely decimated by COVID-19 restrictions. I'm tired of the consumer practice game and want to move into an adjacent field/not be in an attorney role. Ideally looking for something as an employee (starting a family and need some semblance of salary stability for their sake).
Any advice? In Jersey City, so open to NYC-centric ideas.
