I’m noticing that its actually a challenge to move practice areas once you’re a few years in. Recruiters keep saying my experience is too specific but I find it weird since the core skills transfer. Seems like specialization locks you early. Did anyone successfully pivot practice mid-career?

I’m looking at investment a portion of my portfolio into alternative investments. Maybe around $30k to start. Anyone have recommendations or experience with Alt investment vehicles? (e.g., crowdfunded startups/real estate, PE, VC ETFs)??

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

Who are worse: Altima drivers or Dodge Journey drivers?

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

How do find a recruiter in the legal field? Have been looking for a job for a year now and trying to transition into another practice area. Applied to more than 20 jobs and still no offers. I feel like I might need some help.

Is it worth applying for a position with a firm you are directly adverse to on a matter or will conflicts definitely keep you from joining?
