By 25?! You know that your so young at 25, correct?! Plenty of time left. 25 is the time to figure yourself out, try new things - not hold yourself to one career path for the rest of your life! Breathe a little, relax. Absolutely no one has it figured out. I’m 29 and I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.

Same age as you OP, and I think we’ll be fine! Not uncommon to change career paths especially when we’re in mid-20s. What’s your preferred career path?

If you think your career is over if you’re not exactly where you want to be at 25, you need to stop watching TV and take a look at the real world. 25 is young.

I’m old. What’s the “O”?

Thank you for clarifying....that said, I agree with many of the comments here...did you know that for almost students in high school or college right now- the careers they end up in don’t even exist yet?! It’s true- the world is transforming that quickly. Just when you think you have figured things out, the world has a funny way of changing on you. At 24, you should be breathing in every moment and focused on finding passion in the here and now. If you feel you can’t anymore, give yourself a 30/60/90 day plan to explore other possibilities. It is never “over.” You get to an age and suddenly realize there are no destinations....just turning points. Good luck, and PM me if you feel like you need help along the way.

What do you think of AWS blockchain as service? Where it could be used effectively? Is it gonna be a success?

Assuming both firms agree to similar pricing, when would people use biglaw versus a smaller firm (~100 lawyers) with equally (if not more) qualified people on the particular deal? This is for a decent size (~50 million) corporate transaction but within both firm’s capabilities. Basically are there situations where you use biglaw because it’s biglaw, even if smaller firm can do the job?
