I have been doing ID for the past decade and want to get the hell out. I really have no knowledge of employment law. Is it too late to make the switch or will a new firm give me some slack as I learn a new area of law?

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
