Has anyone here ever moved from being an Asylum/SIJ Immigration Attorney to a business immigration attorney?
I’ve been doing immigration law for almost two years now in NYC, and the clients mainly are in removal proceedings. It can be very draining as some may expect. I’ve been trying to jump into the seemingly more tame and less stressful business immigration practice area, but it seems my experience generates zero interest from firms like Fragomen and BAL and I can’t even get my foot in the door for an interview.
I’ve had 2 offers from other firms that do a mix of immigration law, but I ended up turning them down because they were offering me the same salary as what I currently make along with the joy of working even more hours.
I figure that all I can really do is keep up to date on who is hiring and find a way to find a firm that does a mix of immigration law. I’m just curious on if anyone has done a similar move or if I am basically forever locked in to what I’m currently doing.
