I’ve reached a point in my career where I want to take a step back and do an easy job just for the medical insurance benefits. Any ideas what I could do (or who is hiring)? Would contracts manager/admin/specialist be an easy job?

I use voice to text so typically punctuation isn't something that I speak out, (look I even spoke out a comma for you what a great guy I am) also if you look at your comment there seems to be a missing period.

Have you thought about working in higher ed? Maybe at a law school? You could work in admin (student services, career services, admissions), or as a professor (would be a harder jump). It’s a big change of pace from private practice or in-house work. Will most certainly be a pay cut. But reputable institutions have great benefits, work is 9-5 generally, and it’s rewarding.

These sound like they could be really rewarding careers, but I want to be fully remote and assume they’d want employees to be on campus.

Do you need the paycheck? Or are you otherwise set but for insurance? If the latter, it sounds like you're somewhere past "coast FIRE" and nearing "Barista FIRE" stage. coined because Starbucks provides health insurance to even part time workers! Try googling those and see what you get!

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC.
