Following because I also want to know

The same questions you’d ask in other practice areas. The only thing I might add is asking if they can make a referral to a colleague for a subsequent informational interview. That accomplishes two things: another contact to network with and a bit of a halo effect from the lawyer making the referral on your behalf.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.

They told me there would be when I left…what is the best way to go about this?
