It’s a boys club for sure. Learn to “talk to talk” and you should be ok. I landed my first lateral gig because I knew the jargon, not because I was the most experienced candidate.
I feel your pain, but for corporate. I was looking for corporate and took a real estate job because they were hiring. Right place right time kind of thing. Leverage your seniority as a lateral to retool. Not sure if you’re already at a firm, but look for internal opportunities and have the discussion if you have a real estate group in the firm. I will say that if you didn’t love property law and secured transactions, you won’t like being a real estate attorney.
