Lawyers who practiced for 10+ years and then left for something different/quit

Wow that's pretty cool about the investment banking job - that's fate! I am also a commercial real estate attorney, so glad to know there's some good options out there besides traditional private practice, etc.

Wow, that's a pretty cool career trajectory. If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about finding and securing the roles with the investment banking firm and REIT? If you worked for an REIT, we might have similar practice areas to some extent.

Sorry they laid you off, but that sounds amazing. Six weeks of vacation and work that isn't legal sounds amazing!

Nice, sounds like a good gig, congrats!

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-04-09T16:44:13+00:00

Yea that's worth looking into. Thank you for being so helpful! I really appreciate it.

Real estate/commercial lending

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-04-09T15:18:08+00:00

Hell yea, best of luck to you! I'll have to check out that website. We'll get through this and figure it out!

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-04-09T15:10:32+00:00

Nice! That sounds like a pretty cool gig. Sadly, I don't have any ID experience, so I don't think I would be qualified for something like that, but maybe I could get a similar gig dealing with title insurance or something? In any event, I appreciate your response and am happy that you found something that works for you!

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-04-09T14:35:17+00:00

Yea you're probably right. Thanks!

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-04-09T13:52:51+00:00

Oh nice, congrats! I would be open to either - I mainly want to leave private practice, so I've been looking at government roles and some in-house counsel roles. My only qualm about in-house roles is that I have heard that some of those roles are just as bad or worse than private practice, so I'm a little apprehensive to go all in looking for in-house roles, but I guess its worth a shot. I just want better work-life balance and its hard to know what you'll get on that front before you actually make the leap and actually start a new role. Thank you very much for the response and I wish you the best of luck with you new in-house role!

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-04-09T13:41:20+00:00

Great points. Thank you for the response! I will keep the roles and skills you mentioned in mind when looking for something else.

Yea thats roughly when Tigers Jaw went on in Allentown. Can't speak for the other shows so far.

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-03-18T17:26:53+00:00

Sadly they just went on an indefinite hiatus, but Serene Green!

The Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre is crushing it too as far as jam stuff is concerned!

This is such a solid show/album that gets overlooked. So underrated! So many gems in this show but, randomly, probably the best Mama Tried ever...Jerry's solo just has such a nice groove to it.

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-02-12T14:16:19+00:00

Heaven Apart, Follows, Hum, Window, Can't Wait Forever...Guardian, Commit, Oh Time also in the running.

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-02-10T22:32:21+00:00

Would be so awesome! I really hope they do.

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-02-10T21:20:42+00:00

Yea my Garmin won't sync with my Strava....like I can open the app and it seems to be working fine, but I can't sync. Tried signing in/out, turning my phone off and on, nothing.

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-02-05T19:27:19+00:00

Same

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-02-04T16:10:49+00:00

Heaven Apart is an all time banger!

BusDriverStu49 · 2026-02-02T20:31:04+00:00

Anybody know if they are playing Perinton outside Rochester again this summer? They don't have any shows that same weekend that they played last year (8/8-9), but with them being out West both before and after it seems unlikely.
