I have been in ID for the last 3 years as a 4-year attorney in FL. I want to transition to a new area of law. However, I have been having difficulty getting callbacks from firms that are not in ID. Any advice on how to transition out? I am even considering taking another bar exam because FL appears to focus heavily on ID.

I got out of ID by going into insurance coverage work. I did 1-2 coverage opinions in my ID role and that was enough

We advise clients on what’s covered under the policy and draft coverage opinions analyzing policy and claims made under it. I represent mostly insurance companies but some coverage work involves representing policyholders disputing coverage for their claims with their insurers.

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
