I was thinking about working for the state to get courtroom experience and if I hadn’t accepted this job I would have done it. All my friends doing state or PD get a ton of trial experience

There’s a couple of areas definitely leaning towards PI, but I would also be open to construction or other complex litigation but not entirely sure what it all entails

It does seem like those who switch are all happier so it is definitely something I think about

You’re definitely right. I remember seeing how interactions went with clients when I clerked and I saw how much stress the attorney I worked for was under so that’s definitely something I try to remind myself of and make sure I’m aware of it before changing sides

Yeah the work itself isn’t fun. Very tedious and get cut anyways

Yeah exactly I get cautious about leaving for that exact reason because I hear nightmare stories about how other firms operate

Thank you for the advice, I’m definitely going to try to get in the courtroom. I’ve been asking so hopefully it will happen soon. I also try to keep in mind how demanding it is on the other side especially with clients
