I enjoy it enough to take a pretty big pay cut from market-paying biglaw. I can’t imagine being a lawyer in a non-entertainment practice area now—— it would be so boring.

Really for a guy, but also had just graduated from college and wasn’t able to find a job where I was. That was over 20 years ago, now my life is established here over that time and due to work and weather, being able to be outside nearly all year round. The breadth of activities and cuisines.

Weather, career opportunities, variety of landscapes (beaches, mountains, etc.). Despite the drawbacks it’s still really hard to beat.

I'm working on a pitch deck, for an event that I'm planning next year for my wine brand called OBA, but I'm struggling to come up with sponsorship ideas.

I don't want to go the traditional route of creating tiers, because I feel like you should do most of the things in tiers regardless on how much they donated. Can anyone assist with coming up with some ideas?

Also, does anyone know how to create a virtual swag bag?

Thanks in advance.

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?
