I was wondering if transcription work may help pave the way for opportunities as a legal assistant or paralegal. I am about to complete a Masters in Legal Studies program, and am looking to pivot from library work to the legal field. My sense is that it is quite difficult to get an entry-level paralegal job where I am due to there being a law school in the same city. I have an interview for a transcriptionist position soon. Would it be seen as beneficial when applying for legal jobs later on?

How do you get experience when no one will hire you? I wouldn’t mind hanging a shingle but I feel it’d be irresponsible to do so with no experience. Unlike all of my classmates, I never landed an internship/externship in law school - had only one interview. I was a PT law student, came from a CS background, and worked in IT throughout law school. I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?

Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer?
