I’m feeling a bit frustrated. I took three years off from the workforce to finish law school, and now, as a JD graduate awaiting my bar results, I’m encountering challenges reentering the workforce. Even positions in my previous field are declining me, citing a need for “recent experience.” I find myself in this difficult in-between period, waiting for my California bar results while eager to resume my career.

I would suggest doing volunteer work for a non-profit as a legal advisor or assistant. It's a good way to get your foot in the door.

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!
