Investment bank —> tech company is a pretty common route people take. They typically enter in some sort of financial analyst/strategic finance capacity, there are a number of former IBers at my company.

Depends on your role and experience. Look for a comparable position at a tech company with a culture you like.

I went from Morgan Stanley to a Tech company. Both were analyst roles. Definitely different cultures, tools etc. I much prefer tech

First year associate thinking about making the just from medium sized reputable IP firm to In House. Started at said firm summer of 1L year as a law clerk/patent agent in May 2019, have worked through school and full time as associate since Sept 2021. Feeling very “stuck” in day to day work. Love the patent/IP space but drafting and pros w/minimal human interaction is getting very difficult. Thinking In House would be better, but not sure how much experience needed. Thoughts?

But for some reason in my manager's eyes all I do is "meets expectations". I already am doing senior level work as the only senior on our team left a month in... (1)
