[quote=Anonymous]My brother is a patent attorney (and equity partner at his firm). One thing to be mindful of is that the field is changing rapidly such that reimbursement rates for patent work are going down. Clients increasingly want to pay fixed fees for patent writing. And his own view is that a lot of the work is being commoditized with little value being placed on good work vs. not. More to the point, though, why do you view patent law as your only way to increase your salary substantially? If you are familiar with evaluating new tech/IP, perhaps there's a role for you on the investment side? Or, you say you don't want to be in industry R&D, but what about roles like product management, product marketing, BD, etc? I have a STEM PhD and am in a strategy position earning $250K working remotely and with tons of flexibility. I could earn a lot more if I were willing to trade away some of my flexibility.[/quote]
