Any entry level role. You don't have any real experience other than being able to do excel and ppt as a BA. Meanwhile if you enter a technical field, the guys that joined there after undergrad have more subject matter knowledge.

Any chance you can stick it out for a promo? What are you looking to do? Beauty of MBB is how wide the exit opportunities are

Promo is ~1 yr away…I could try to stick it out but trying to solve for WLB as I have a newborn I’d like to see more than just on Saturdays… 😂

Are there any fully remote lawfirms, ie you don't have to live in the state they have offices?

I'd like to keep my current job part-time but get back in a lawfirm too.
