Ideas for law-adjacent positions in the pharmaceutical/biotech sphere? I see various positions but none post salary so I have no idea how that would match up with expectations. It also seems like most jobs want a bachelors degree plus a few years experience or 8-10 years of experience (without much in between). For reference, I have a MS and a JD with 1 year in biotech and 3 years in biglaw pharma regulatory/litigation.

I’ve only heard third hand but think it’s mainly just doing good legal work, conveying and displaying your understanding of business issues since you’d be advising the business folks, and then making the pivot internally (or working with a recruiter to make the same pitch externally). Not an uncommon move from my understanding

Entry level compliance positions at Healthcare entities. Also claims adjusters are a good intro to law. They handle the money side for most personal injury, property, etc. They also work directly with the lawyers.
