How did everyone get into Workers Comp law? It’s such a niche area, I’m always curious about this.

2015 grad here. Spent four years in the public defender's office and then got into workers' comp on the claimant's side. I miss the excitement of criminal defense, but one thing I really like about my current work is that I still feel like I'm sticking up for the little guy. That and I'd be bored with a job that didn't get me into court at least occasionally!

2011 graduate when hiring sucked. Wanted something related to employment law and fell into this. Now I would never go to employment law from this

WLB, the people you deal with, frankly I find it far more interesting than most other fields. It’s administrative law (in CA at least) but you are in court or at depos regularly. Not something you see in most other fields right off the bat.

First job out of law school.

I am currently in Retail Project Management (coming up on 2 years) right now and am looking to make a shift into real estate finance. My degree is in finance, and I am really looking to pair that degree with my passion for real estate investment. Any suggestions on how to make the transition? I am just concerned on how to sell my current experience to a finance-specific role. Any thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated!

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?
