I am a federal government attorney (DOJ) with 2.5 years of litigation and bankruptcy experience. I want to break into tech companies/finance and apply for jobs @ Google, Robinhood, etc. Does anyone have any connections I can leverage?

Bankruptcy experience might be useful if Robbinhood’s daily active users continue on a downward trajectory…and losses keep mounting.

In all seriousness, it would probably help if you gave some info on the type of cases you are litigating outside of bankruptcy court.

I find myself questioning basic politeness I’ve learned since a child. Wondering what everyone else thinks. I work with an associate. She’s great.

And for some reason, that’s awkward. Is it just me? I know in normal manners, that is the right response. Why does it sit funny?
