I was chatting to a customer today while setting up broadband and the conversation somehow turned into mortgages. They said their rate changed twice in a week because lenders keep repricing deals. It made me think about how unstable things feel financially right now. Are you currently prioritising job stability or career progression?

That's an interesting question. Day to day I'm thinking about stability. In a world that feels utterly unstable, I'm honestly grateful to have my job and I'd like to hang on to it. However, in a more broad sense I do think about career progression. It doesn't feel like the current job market is the time to be making big moves, but it's definitely something on my mind.

I think I am balancing both in a similar way. Right now I lean toward stability day to day, but I am still thinking about progression quietly so I am ready when the timing feels right.

For anyone who is burnt out and looking to leave big law and go to a midsize, do your research. I was one of those people and I can tell you the grass is NOT greener on the other side. It’s a myth. In retrospect, I should’ve stayed and set better boundaries and not have taken this 35% pay cut.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)
