So, I am trying to get my way into a marketing, PR, or risk position. I am currently an attorney but have an undergrad degree in advertisement/PR and an MBA. Any recs on positions to look for? Only closely related marketing stuff I’ve done over the last 6 years are side graphic design projects for non-profits and legal articles 😂. So, I really need to start from the beginning. I think the only transferable skills I have as an attorney is probably risk management🥲🫠

I work in PR. Starting over from a lawyer is going to come at a significant loss of income. Entry level PR folks are paid pennies, especially at agencies. You may consider a junior role in-house to get paid a bit more but in-house is slow to promote. Unfortunately, many PR/comms. roles want exp. in PR or comms. for anything requiring over 2 or more years of experience. Have you considered maybe a pivot to entertainment / media law, working for a large agency and then slowly transitioning over into PR?
