I left practice 12 years ago. I became the Director of International Programs at a law school, which was great for a while. But, the bureaucracy eventually got to me. While there, I started a podcast called The Lawyer’s Escape Pod, interviewing lawyers who’d switched careers. And that put me on my new path. I now coach lawyers who want to ditch the traditional work world and start creative or coaching businesses. Never been happier.

Say I work in tech and have a decent finance experience. Would my 3 yoe of domain "expertise" in tech make me an attractive bet for the banks Tech coverage team? In other words, does having experience in Tech make me more hireable for IBD?

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

Hi everyone,
One of my friends, he made a switch just 6 months back hoping he would get a better work environment a better package, but now he is just frustrated with the working environment, being a backend developer he has been asked to just fix bugs for almost 5 months now and that too in javascript without any KTs or any other trainings when he clearly did mention in the interview that he does not have prior knowledge on javascript.

What should he do? Any suggestions?

I am prior military and went to law school. I had a family to take care of while I was a student, hence I went as fast as possible to get to a paycheck, graduating in 2 years, and bypassing the standard summer clerkships. How could I get some experience strictly remote? I am w-2 working as an accountant in healthcare, have passed the bar and am working on my CPA license (studying starts at 3 am, then work FT). I would like to eventually hang a shingle as a tax lawyer, but need experience. TIA!

I have a question for all those with a non-tech background who broke into the fintech sector as a graduate. How did you manage to get into fintech and what roles are you involved in?

Looking for thoughts.

Hi Fishes..I recently joined HCL.. and I am into a Support profile. So i would be having rotational shifts here and also there won't be much of learning. Is there any career upskill program in HCL through which I can move myself to a different domain or technology within HCL? If anyone has more information than we can Talk on teams as well..

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?

I am genuinely curious: What is it like interviewing as an experienced recruiter, for a recruiting position, with another recruiter?

Ex big law attorneys - please share your experiences. Do you regret leaving? Have you found happiness? Pros and cons?

Anyone ex-biglaw to plaintiffs bar?

My dad technically left big law after a month of it in 1968. He went on to have an amazing career in both law and politics. Has even been deemed important enough to have his own Wikipedia. Sky’s the limit!

Working remotely for a tech co and still can't get over how much more time I get to spend with my kids. To be honest, this alone is worth so much more than money can buy. For those who plan well, I really think exiting can be worth it if family is a priority. It's really helped my marriage also, I'm a lot kinder to my wife with way less stress.

I left biglaw after 3 years to a mid-size firm. Took a pay cut but the hours, people, culture and work were so much better I never thought twice about the salary or “prestige.” Ultimately I started 2 very small firms. I am not rich by biglaw standards but I have a very comfortable life and put my kids through college with no debt. 35 years after leaving big law, people are still impressed when I say I started there. I feel like I still had the benefits of the connection w/o the suffering.

Ex big law capital markets attorneys - what’re you doing now? Do you like it? When did you leave? How much do you work? Can you touch on salary expectations, both as soon as you left, and end of career?

Thank you for joining. If you don’t mind sharing, how long did you work in big law and what type of work do you do now?

I left in 2013 after five years in. I have since done everything from selling motorcycles, getting a food prep certificate, doing discovery work, starting a few companies, and getting married to a woman who knew better than to speak to the person I was in my big law days. Could not have made a better decision, but wouldn’t mind that paycheck for a few more months.

Just got an offer to go back to BL and contemplating it. Left 2 years ago to work in government and love the wl balance. This offer would triple my salary. Not sure what to do.

Left big law as a 5th year. Currently working at a small firm, billing around 5 hours per day, firm typically makes partners around year 7. Huge pay cut, but loans paid off and I have way more time for hobbies/self care. Life is good. AMA.
