Honestly, any tech related area that doesn’t involve patents. Doing deal work for tech companies, fintech/crypto/blockchain, data privacy, etc. I want to build a skill set that’s conducive to my going in-house and not managing patent filings.
If you find a soft IP role at a law firm wouldn’t you be making the same amount? Don’t see how that would affect loan repayment. If you’re talking about moving to an entertainment boutique, yes you should expect to make less money. I do think moving sooner rather than later will make it easier to transition to soft IP, so consider making the move at a big firm first before going to a smaller shop.
