I’m looking to get into IP lit. I currently do ID lit (primarily auto). I’m only 7 months into practice. What are the chances I’ll be accepted into an IP lit position? If so, what kind of salary/bonuses should I expect?

Do you have a technical background? While not required - it generally is an easier sell especially if you're changing practice areas.

Economics

Are you hoping to switch into IP lit at the same firm? Or are you interviewing for an IP lit position at a new firm? It might be tough if you're switching to a new firm - there is quite a bit of preference for a technical background (unless you're hoping to do soft IP litigation). If you're switching practice groups at a GP firm it will probably be easier.

I do IP lit, so happy to chat. What kind of IP? Trademark/copyright and patents are very different and have different requirements for what background you have

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.

I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not?
