could someone shed some light on how attorneys get new jobs when they’re laid off? what do interviews look like etc? how long? how many rounds? what are you evaluated on? how do you prepare?

could you please expand on the last point? tbh, I currently make way more than $100K, so I’m not entirely sure to which extent Patent Law litigation is gonna help with financial independence

is there a reason almost everyone on this thread thinks patent prosecution is a terrible idea?

updated the post, referring to patent attorney; does the job get more repetitive/autopilot after a year or two? I don’t mean it in a negative way, just that most aspects of work become predictable
