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.

Looking for guidance. I’ve been in people manager roles (in director/senior leader capacity) for the last 5 years now, and prior to that I was a “rockstar” Project Manager. I’ve worked really hard to get to the position I’m in today, but I’ve been recently asked to move from my current role to a senior IC role to take on a highly visible Program for the company, with some very senior stakeholders. I feel conflicted as it does feel like I would be backtracking in many ways. Thoughts?
