Looks like you’re an IPR lawyer at KCo or AZB?

Switch over to any other practice area, you’ll be fine. Accept the PQE cut as the cost of doing business.

Also, grow up and stop obsessing over batch ranks after college.
Money is not everything. Why not try thinking about what you truly enjoy doing in life? If you are indeed doing the thing that you like the most and are earning a sizeable income then it really does not matter what your peers are earning.
Can you explain what exactly did you do and why you regret it? I am an A0 in a tier 1 firm in a corp practice, leaving everything for litigation.
