I was doing really well in big law but took a compliance role in house for WLB but it is so boring that I’m making mistakes. Anyone else is or was in the same boat? I need to course correct but this is tougher in a way different way than I would’ve imagined

What do you actually do day to day in an IHC compliance role? I’m a corporate/commercial generalist on a small legal team for a late-stage startup, and I couldn’t imagine EVER going back to biglaw. The work is interesting and always different. Maybe it’s your niche/business?

This is my worst nightmare lol. Commercial work is so boring, and I would be annoyed if I had to handle random requests from areas I wasn't remotely interested in (e.g., HR/employee/real estate/etc.). M&A/corp gov would be interesting, but what start up is doing M&A work? And then there's the chaos inherent to start ups...

Maybe you are in the wrong speciality for compliance. Doing trade work is always lively 😅😭. Also, if you are bored this is the time to work on side hustles.

There is still your self respect to worry about. You shouldn't be making mistakes if you're bored.

I hear you. My point is that you should take pride in the work you do whether you are bored or disengaged. Diligence is an ethical rule after all.

Hi everyone, I had a major surgery and am looking to find a remote position involving anything that isn’t 100% commission based or cold calling/agent positions. Looking to make $25-35 an hour, and have had long term positions such as Clinical Secretary & Receptionist/Administrator, Accounts Payable Clerk, Team Lead, and Sales Associate. I’m willing to try new things and am a very quick learner, and can handle multitasking and high pace. Does anyone know of any good work from home positions?
