I have been practicing in creditors rights/foreclosure in PA & NJ for around 4.5 years. Due to the foreclosure/eviction moratoriums there is no work to do and I was furloughed. I am looking to change directions- what is the most logical next move?

Interested to hear answers to this as I have former colleagues in the same boat. I also practiced PA foreclosure for around 5 years before jumping to ID about 6 months pre-Covid. FWIW, I def don’t think ID is a necessarily a logical next move post creditors rights, but you can try to parlay your general litigation/negotiation skills if you find a firm who is willing to let you learn on the job as an associate.

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
