I am currently a product manager with 3 years of experience post MBA from a tier 1 college. Cumulative experience is 5 years.
I want to make a switch to Growth/Category/Business/Strategy roles.
How do I go about it or prepare for it?

Easy path would be to join Accenture or CBC and then move to strategy roles. Being a product owner you can already try launching your features or product in new markets which would give you a good experience on how to run a business. This can propel you into strategy roles.

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

When drafting a brief or other submissions for court or arbitration, do you use words such as clearly, erroneously, etc. to emphasize certain points? Our managing partner says that we should, but all of the writing guides for litigators that I've read repeats the mantra "show, don't tell" and explain that most judges dread such words.

I know that the politically correct thing to do here is to do whatever the managing partner wants me to do, but I just wanted to ask for other ppl's opinion.
