I recently finished my JD while working full-time as a paralegal, but I’ve decided not to take the bar because I actually prefer the support side of the house. Now, when I apply for senior paralegal or legal ops roles, recruiters keep telling me I’m overqualified and will leave as soon as I find an associate gig. It’s frustrating because I’ve made a conscious career choice, but no one seems to believe me. How can I convince a recruiter that I’m in this for the long haul?

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?
