Change practice group

[99problems]

How can I change my practice group? From securities to finance.

Every firm I reach out to wants me to have relevant finance experience, which I won't have until I get work from finance group (nothing has come out of the finance group in my firm). It feels like a life sentence.

You might have to move down a level or two in firm status / size.  That is, find a firm where the mere fact you're a [Sister]-trained lawyer is impressive enough for them to hire you, irrespective of your lack of specific experience in finance.  That's about all I can think of, assuming an internal move is off the table.
