I am curious. I work with many attorneys who do not seem passionate about ID. it makes me wonder why or how they’re in the field.
Is it the money? Life?

I’m not bashing or judging just curious.

Probably the only job they were able to get at the time so they’re not super passionate about the subjects area. Defending insurance companies isn’t exactly glamorous. It’s also hard to do anything else after doing ID for a long time. Money isn’t really that great compared to other practice areas and work life balance is hit or miss depending on private practice vs. in house.

Lack of alternative options, appreciationnfor the long term value of their experience, and potentially lucrative bonus is my guess.

I did it for 2 years because I handled 50 depos (including experts) and pre trial discovery. Lateralled to plaintiff bow where I make way more and work way less
