发帖数: 13 | 1 我老公上周五被laid off了， 到现在我还有点缓不过来。老公是in house counsel,
只有三年经验。我是音乐专业，所以一直以来，大部分是他在支持我发展我的音乐，
我只做个part time Executive Assistant工作。得知老公失去工作，我第一时间要求
我part time老板把我变成全职员工，幸运的是老板当场答应。可是在旧金山这样高消
费的地区， 真的有点难。再加上现在市场上到处都是laid off lawyers from big law
firm... 这里的高人和前辈这麽多，请大家出出主意，谢谢了！对了，老公passed CA
bar and patent Bar. 谢谢大家！ |

passed patent bar, but he hasn't actually practice Patent law. :( Most
likely, he was doing Licensing, IP, Tech Internet and other transactional
matters... Are you in Bay Area as well? |

申请USPTO当专利审查员吧。不过他要不是公民，也没戏。

发帖数: 122 | 8 tech tran是IP被影响最大的一块儿，不管是law firm还是in-house,现在只有裁人的，
没有找人的。
试试中小型IP boutique做prosecution吧。现在各headhunter手上还有在招prosecutor
的law firm的单子－－很短，要求也比较高。 |

发帖数: 13 | 9 I did some research on USPTO Examiner, but it's in DC area right? I'm just
worried about what if he got the offer( i'm just assuming he is super super
lucky) and we relocate down there, and he got laid again?! Well, I know
anything is possible... By then, I don't have job neither...scary. Sometimes
I feel so sad that practice music all these years, but I can not even make
enough money to support family...anyway, I will suggest him to apply. He is
citizen, since he was grew up in U.S since he was |

Relocation may not be required. But it doesn't hurt to check it out.
