We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. Pivot your career: Leave legal practice and join a legal ed-tech, like lawsikho, which offers permanent WFH. Look into allied legal careers, like law firm marketing/ branding etc. The former is a better option as the pay scale is likely going to be better given your experience.
2. Freelance legal work: Build a solid LinkedIn profile, go on Upwork, Fiverr etc. and take on freelance legal work. The caveat is, this will take some time to work out. You'll not find clients immediately. But you'll get to practice law.
Armed Forces husband is a really bad option for your (OR ANY Wife's) career. Most Officers spouses are housewifes. And your horrible transfers and social duties (parties, wife welfare association) make it impossible to do any meaningful work.
Break up with that Armed forces guy if you want a career.
It allows permanent WFH if you are ready to accept a cut in your remuneration
