Would love to hear from those who left law completely and are happy with how things have turned out. I’m currently taking 2 weeks off of my big law job (8 months in, in total been practicing 2 years) and seriously considering resigning when I return with nothing lined up. Also dealing with some pretty major mental health issues right now and this quarter life crisis of feeling I chose the wrong profession.

Now that we're eight months into the pandemic, I feel like my mental health has really been impacted. Every day feels like groundhog day - I'm frustrated and can't keep focused. How are others handling this?

Hi All, I fell victim to the recent tech layoffs in July when our startup had its funding pulled mid-series B. I was let go without severance and am starting to panic because sending out resumes in this job market feels like screaming into the void.

It feels weird to come to fishbowl for this kind of advice because it is deeply personal but I don’t know where to get insight on this matter. I suffer from depression and I think I’m having a major episode and it’s impacting my work. I’m at my dream gig and I don’t want to blow it because of my condition, but I feel like if I don’t manage this it’s going to get worse. How do I broach this subject with my manager? Should I even talk to my manager about this? Can anyone else relate?

Halloween inspired me, so here's a scary thought. Wouldn't career building from IC to say CTO be that much easier where tech isn't the mission?

If you can navigate the politics, the opportunities for impact seem remarkable. Prove yourself with a few successes, network to impress just one exec tired of being in the stone age, and wham--you're a director with all the opportunities to grow this thing into your own org. Automate all the things. Learn on the way, obviously. Next thing you know: CTO.

I have been a practicing (patent prosecution) lawyer in different firms for about 20 years. I would love to do something more creative but still techie (computers, telecom, apps, etc.). I've always been interested in improving the software that practicing lawyers use (whether patent-specific or not). I am also kind of an academic at heart, but I live in a locale where professorial jobs are pretty limited and we're rooted here now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
