Medium sized law firms (25+ attorneys) are a good place to look. They have a lot of internal business processes that can be wrangled with some fairly simple apps. Not a single person in the whole firm knows anything about computers. Profit margins are fat. If you automate a couple things the managing partner thinks are a PITA, you'll be treated like a god. Also law firms seems especially fearful of tech talent leaving, so I don't even really think you have to worry about a paycut.
- xtracto 6y agoThis is great advice. I have several friends who are lawyers, and they are just utter and completely non-technical. If you can find a place like this that allows you to work from home, it would be a great job for someone like OP's profile.
- cutler 6y agoWhich processes? Could you give some examples?
- endymi0n 6y agoMore generally still, look at established, unsexy industries flush with (old) money, such as finance, law, oil&gas, government services, infrastructure, real estate... If you can find a space in there where you can accelerate things just by 5% mostly on your own, you'll find yourself in a highly paid, irreplaceable position soon enough.
