I recently accepted an offer and in the process of moving to a new job, currently working notice period. Now I am being approached with some attractive opportunities elsewhere and I’d like to explore them, but obviously feel tied to the employer whose offer I’ve accepted. (NB I am also on a work visa which is tied to employer, and I’d have to swallow the cost if I don’t follow through with offer).

Is it in poor taste to explore these opportunities when I haven’t started at the new job?

I’m on OPT working full time in consulting. Under my F-1 visa, am I allowed to collect income from my country if I have a gig there? e.g If I join a college prep academy in my country, am I allowed to accept payment from them into my US bank account (as in they do a wire transfer for my help)?
Thank you

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them.

Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.
