Probably

Anything could happen, but it might be a challenge. Having less than six months of experience could be an obstacle just because it looks less than ideal to have stayed in a position for such a brief tenure. You'd be asked why you want to move on after six months, and the answer to that could conceivably reflect badly on you.

Very true. I’ve tried to think of how I’ll respond to that question in the best manner possible.

What practice ?

Willing to consider any practice area really

I have a friend started as a contract specialist/ negotiator after law school and then transferred to a full lawyer role after a year. Keep open minded, there may be jobs prefer a law education and new lawyer can apply, the pay is not bad.

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house. They told me to focus on contract management, which I have been doing for the past year.
