1. Backend-wise it seems to be a Java, .Net, Golang and Node world at the moment, so you might like to prioritize those. If you are crazy or adventurous Rust, Ada, Kotlin, Erlang and Dlang are nice, but you will get few bites. Python is fine for all your scripting needs.

2. While you are earning good money in your biglaw job you should stay there while scoping out a startup you can use your legal quals + programming chops at. Or start your own. If I was starting a legal-falvoured startup and looking for devs I would hire you in a flash and train you to use my stack. Impossible the other way around.

Good luck
