I'd love to get out of big law and teach, wondering if anyone has snagged a teaching gig without an insider to recommend you? Is it even worth cold-applying?

People I know who have worked as adjuncts knew people. But I doubt they’re very competitive positions generally given how low paid they are.

Accenture Hello, this past December I applied to a Devops role at Accenture. I didn’t get the position but I looked on their website and noticed they have an software engineer apprenticeship.

I really think I would be a good fit for the apprenticeship. What can anyone recommend? Can I possibly get a referral.

And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
