Date: August 29th, 2015 10:47 AM Author: spruce splenetic hominid pervert Legitimate post. Trying to just get out. Have saved enough to do so. Would ideally find my way into a business development role at a startup, which maybe is doable now, but not sure how to pivot my career.
Has anyone done this? Thoughts? |

Date: August 29th, 2015 1:57 PM Author: Odious Circlehead Factory Reset Button Made the transition from law to business development at a startup a while ago. Since moved on to product and running startups.
Law is very useful for BD so long as you don't let a lawyering mentality (risk minimization at all costs) to control over business interests. |

Date: August 29th, 2015 2:04 PM Author: spruce splenetic hominid pervert Can I ask you more about the transition?
How did you sell your law background as useful? Explain away your lack of experience doing _______ in business?
How do you pitch the JD as value-add, basically? |

Date: August 29th, 2015 2:08 PM Author: Odious Circlehead Factory Reset Button I already worked with startups and I was negotiating a ton of deals on their behalf (including the business terms). I was also well connected within a particular industry so I had access to the people I would need.
When it was time to make the transition, I just called up 2-3 of my closer clients and told them I was bored and wanted to make a move. It was actually cheaper for them to just hire me. |
