Discussion Ask HN: Lawyer with 200k and Side BusinessCareer Moves I'm working as a lawyer in London. I have a side business that generates 200k a year in profits (takes about 7-10 hours a week of work).I find the law boring. My focus has been on commercial contracts - i.e drafting, advising and reading contracts.On paper, I have strong experience - Big law firm, worked under a now Supreme Court Judge, worked at a private equity firm.My area of business is slow, boring and unsexy.Do you think I should quit and focus on growing my business? Or would it be a waste of my legal experience. 2 points asoskm 10 years ago 1 comments
