[quote=Anonymous]Here is my two cents from someone in the field.  First, I haven't found that legal marketing pays any better than a lot of other marketing positions, especially with no experience in the legal field.  I think there are plenty of industries that pay as well as law firms (of course, this depends on the firm).  Second, while it sounds like you have a lot of marketing experience, there are a lot of people in DC with legal marketing experience--the city is crawling with them.  So while its not hard to switch firms once you are in the field, I have never met anyone in legal marketing who didn't work their way up in a law firm.  Also, a lot of firms will hire JDs to work in their marketing department so you are also competing with many attorneys in DC.  Frankly, I feel that those with law degrees offer as much if not more in this type of position than those with years and years of marketing experience (and I don't have a JD so I am not speaking about myself).

You should attend Legal Marketing Association events and talk to people there to see how they got into the field.  That is by far the best resource for someone who wants to break into the field.[/quote]
