I've been working for a plaintiffs personal injury attorney for 4 years. I just accepted a job working for the defense for medical malpractice. My current employer told me I'm going over to the dark side. Is that true? Am I selling my soul for defending doctors?

You're not going over to the dark side. You'll be surprised at how many frivolous cases there are in med-mal. There are always going to be bad actors who see medical professionals with high malpratice insurance as a lottery ticket or a way to make a quick buck.

Also, if a doctor really committed negligence and did not perform within the standard of care, it would difficult to defend that. But every person should be afforded legal defense.

Bottomline: med-mal defense is not automatically the dark side!

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.
