A lot of this will be unique to your region/market.

As I’m sure you are aware, getting out of ID takes time, effort, and creativity.

A respected small or medium sized firm in your city/state/region that employ people you can leverage your connections with might be the way to go.

I do not. I don’t practice in the Tri-State area.

I would perhaps talk to anyone you know who has successfully made the switch to find about about successful strategies or firms to target.

If you know any local recruiters in NJ or NY that don’t chase the Big Law dragon, perhaps talk to them. Sometimes they have a list of firms that want litigators and aren’t exclusionary.

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love. Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated. I don’t wanna do healthcare, but it seems like it’s the only thing available in NYC nowadays. I also don’t have many connections in this city. So, IF you need an ACD/Art (full-time or FL-to-perm), let’s chat! 🙌🏻
