Former lawyer here. I left the law for similar reasons. I used to be a software patent attorney. I got fed up with the kinds of things people were filing patents on. I felt it was all a complicated extortion scheme.

I left the profession and took a 70% pay cut my first year out. I'm still happy I did it.




good for you
