Thoughts on making the transition from paid to organic? I'm currently learning technical SEO on the side now and refining my blog writing skills for a friend but wanted opinions of others already in the field. Main reason of trying to transition is looking for slower pace of things

I agree with the other comment, SEO i wouldn’t say is slower pace unless your looking to stay at an analyst or senior analyst level. Most upward growth in SEO is overall business/client managing

Having worked on both sides, I’d say the transition is easier the other way around. But, if slower pace is what you’re after, also be prepared for slower ROI, a LOT more cross functional work/dependencies , and a LOT more selling (internally or to a client).

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar.

I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
