Transitioning out of civil litigation advice
I’ve done solely litigation for the last six years working Plaintiffs side, consumer protection (primarily FCRA cases) and I want OUT. I like my firm and my colleagues, and honestly I’m good at it, but I’m so sick of fighting with opposing counsel and the stress that comes with it. I’m a softy deep down.
I’m a managing attorney (not partner), have trial experience, argued before federal appellate courts etc. I mention it in case the experience is transferable outside of litigation.
How do I get out of this hell? Most people say go in house, but with my experience, I feel like I’d have to work for a consumer reporting agency, which I don’t want to do.
I don’t need to be loaded but I really don’t want to make less than $200k a year.
I’m extremely burnt out and don’t know where to start because I’m too busy fighting OC every day so any advice on next steps or ideas is highly appreciated!
