Bless you PMs.
Young software engineer here, looking for a (preferably remote) job opportunity. Cut workflow by 50% as Executive Editor, managed end to end creation of several websites as lead web developer for startup, been programming since high school. Recently graduated from college and awarded top graduating CS student by faculty. Anyone able to give me a referral from Apple Microsoft Adobe Google, or know of a job opening with good WLB, benefits and competitive salary? DM me for more info.
I've worked at the same engineering firm for 4 years. I'm currently making $161k with only a $750 bonus, but excellent vacation (4 weeks, cash out anytime, rolls over indefinitely), 45 hours a week. I have an interview with a recruiter at Guidehouse this week for a Technical Project Manager role. It seems to be focused in the government space and requires a security clearance. What sort of salary and benefits could I expect for this sort of role at Guidehouse?

Consider reaching out to small firms and nonprofit legal organizations and offering to intern part time without pay. Good luck. This is a tough time to be entering the profession, although you should be grateful not to be graduating this year.
I echo what was Trial Lawyer 1 said. There are plenty of opportunities to get experience, but some of it may be unpaid. However, when I’ve made hiring decisions for new/young associates in the past when the market tanked (circa 2010), I always gave preference to folks who found a way to get experience (e.g., volunteer lawyer with a non-profit). While the experience may not have been entirely relevant to the position we were interviewing them for, the fact that they were obviously motivated and driven spoke volumes.
Good luck!
Volunteer with a legal aid/ non profit!!!
Check with judge’s chambers. They may need some remote help and could serve as a good reference later.
I'm at a small firm and we just hired for the summer. Reach out to the ones in your area and practice interests.
I work at a nonprofit legal services provider. We already hired interns but echoing what others said. I am sure there are others that will take on another intern!
