I’m a recently sworn in graduate and my experience with internships and clerkships was less than average due to family issues during law school. Im very interested in business and corporate law but it seems all associates are pretty much pulled from old clerkships and summer associate positions or you need experience. Basically, what ways exist for me to get actual experience without a current job in business law or any field of law for that matter? Would appreciate some advice!

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?

What happens if I over contributed to 401k because of a job change ? How do I adjust ?
