For my current job, I'm currently in-house counsel for a U.S. manufacturing company based in the Northeast. I got that job from a headhunter looking for somebody who had ties to the Northeast, which is where I went to law school, and found me as a partner, a junior partner, at a law firm. I started off at a small patent firm, Drafting Patents, which I found very boring. At the time, I realized it was extremely boring. September 11th had hit and had taken our business, and I got laid off. I managed to get a job three weeks later litigating, and that went quite well for me. I was made a junior partner. And then from that level, I moved up to a director of intellectual property, or head in-house counsel, where I'm the lead patent attorney for a company, and I work directly for that company, not for a law firm.
