I'm was diagnosed in June 2024. Completed first round of Chemo. I'm a Private Equity Lawyer (20 yrs) - M&A and Securities. Now, I can't find a position at any law firm. I don't offer why I took such a long hiatus from practicing, but also can't lie when pressed. My career has been a huge part of my life and now I am feeling very lost

    Assuming that you got a complete response to your treatment why would you wish to join a discriminatory workplace? Can you not go down the ladder and choose a smaller firm who would be eager to benefit from your experience and skills? Perhaps you start your small law firm with a few younger partners?
