Hey my people.
I am making a pivot from consulting to law. Before consulting, I was career military.

My law school application is nearly complete, just touching up my PS. I’ve made connections at my preferred law school.

Need some recommendations on where to start in Law from anyone that started their legal career later in life.
Thanks.

Do you think that sales skills are an important/integral part of tech recruiting? Or recruiting in general? Do you see what you do as partly being "sales" oriented?

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

What does commercial finance work (lender side) look like for a junior-mid level associate? Is it possible to lateral as an ECVC associate to this kind of work? Any transferable skills?

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

What are the possible exit opps., from consulting & analytics roles in SaaS companies like Kinaxis, Llamasoft, BlueYonder etc.?

1. Looking for a mix of analytics & strategy opportunities
2. How difficult is switching from SaaS based company to industry (CPG/Retail/Manfg.) for strategy roles? I believe switching would be easy from consulting (big 4/chainalytics etc boutique firms) as compared from software based. Correct me if wrong.

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.
