Interested in hearing if anyone has left practice to move into an HR role or considered doing so. For reference, I am on the defense side. I am starting to get burned out on law firm life and litigating cases. I would love to go in house, but I will be moving soon to a smaller area and not sure there will be many local in-house opportunities and remote spots are a competitive crap shoot. Interested in whether you liked the change and at what level in HR you were able to transition over to.

It’s common in some industries like entertainment. I was in house for many years and considered it, but decided I liked being a lawyer more. Having to get into areas like salary planning, benefits, coaching and HRIS just didn’t seem appealing. You have to make a lateral move at the VP level to be close to lawyer compensation.

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
