I moved from a top 10 firm to a top 150 firm 2 years ago. I don’t feel I’ve moved on from the first firm. I find myself comparing everything and always feel the old one was better. I was so proud to work there and don’t feel that way about my current firm. I have phenomenal WLB though which is why I stay. Is it common to feel this way? Any tips on how to change my mindset from missing my old firm to trying to help drive change in my current? All great people but it’s a different ballgame.

If you moved for the WLB, then focus on the life bit more. You might start feeling more pride in working at your current place once you realize the life they afford you to have outside of work

Just remember that your other firm has replaced you and moved on.

I share that experience. I constantly question my decision to leave.
