I’m trying to break into environmental, green jobs as a paralegal. Has anyone made the transition from legal to this field? I realize that there are legal departments within these companies but I’m trying to stay away from that. Any thoughts on how to stand out with a background in legal?

My guess is that you'd have to look at larger companies/organisations for them to need paralegals, but it would be worth reaching out to NGOs like Earthjustice or Environmental Defense Fund known for a lot of legal work contesting bad legislation/regulation, see how they hire folks with your background.

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.
