Please do write to me, it will be really helpful if you can share your experience and guide me. Thanks.
Anyways, grass is always greener...
That's the toughest part.
I know of instances where people were successful in their switching practice area after obtaining a LLM in some other discipline from abroad. However, neither do I have the means or the inclination to study at the moment.
I am willing to give up my 5+ years PQE and start afresh. But IDK which firm or company will take me on. Franky speaking i have no knowledge in any other area of law besides the area of law i current practice in.
I am willing to learn and work hard, but IDK how to get a break.
Would really appreciate if anyone can narrate experiences of a successful switch after having a PQE of more than 5 years in a practice area.
This is really affecting me mentally as I am really unhappy in my current job and work profile. I don't know how to get out of this situation. Please help.
