Hi, I'm 26 and going through a career change. All my life I said I wanted to be an attorney. I have a bachelor's in Communications and an L.L.M in Intercultural Human Rights Law. I've been in the Legal field for about 4 years, and on litigation side for 2 years; as a discovery clerk and then assistant. I've realized this may not be my route. I'm thinking of going into business/marketing; potentially create something with what I know and what I will learn. Words of advice? Appreciate it!

Thank you

Regardless of where one comes from and where one wishes to go, the ability to draw a connecting line is crucial - this axis could be either the industry or the function. If you don’t have anything to show such a connection, then a career break to upskill yourself (say, an MBA), could be a meaningful choice.

I've worked in the hospitality industry and I can offer great advice as far as working for high end hotels if that's an option for you. I could also use some advice from you as far as Human Rights Laws. Not sure how I can contact you via glassdoor but if you can figure it out we should connect.

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
