You want white collar crime you need federal experience not state.

Sure, but big law will likely make you take a cut in class year. Anything that is not traditional scares us (not me personally, but definitely some of my partners).

I find this so strange. Why is this the case that non-trad gets people worked up?

Anything is possible. My experience is that if you have litigation experience you can transfer to litigation in another area of law. Just expect your compensation to reflect lack of subject matter expertise.

I went fed PD, big law, boutique white collar. It’s totally possible!

Anything is possible.

I saw the thread about savings and many young lawyers (20s and 30s) don’t know how to open up a brokerage account or invest in their 401k. I know they don’t teach personal finance in school (though they should!), but my advice is that you should go to your local library and read a book about the subject. You have the skills necessary but you must invest in yourself. No one will look out for you.
