I have been with big law for 6 years and I really don’t want to be a lawyer anymore (I hate the idea that my day is sitting in front of a computer and make sure everything is 100% perfect).

What would be my exit options?

I’ve seen an associates successfully exit by getting a clerkship, then spending that year figuring out their next step. Person I know was an employment associate at Am Law 50, got the federal clerkship, then found a corporate job at a tech company.

Get creative. But the clerkship change of pace allows you to organize your thoughts. It’s hard to make intentional decisions if you’re already burnt out and struggling.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
