I am looking for ways to increase or supplement my income. As for the former, I am applying to other firms that offer better comp. But if that fails, I am considering just doing side gigs. The desire for side gigs is also driven by a feeling of boredom in my current job. I live in a state where because I have a law license I can pretty easily obtain a realtor’s license. Has anyone done realty on the side? Any other side gig ideas?

The side gig juice is usually not worth the squeeze imo. The best “side gig” for lawyers is business development for your main gig and/or finding a better paying main gig.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
