Having to learn a lot of new names and get used to a new office does sound exhausting. What's also exhausting is not being able to pay the mortgage or put food on the table. If you can afford to walk away, more power to you, that's what you should do. If I can get some alternate income streams operating well enough, who knows, I may do the same someday.
Yes and then I said guess I’m done with the practice of law lol assume this is how so many of us end up leaving the profession.
No matter where you go, you need the initial adjustment to new people, new culture, etc. take it easy, after a while, it is just… a job, same as other jobs.
My concerns center around meeting expectations of the new firm. Will I be knowledgeable, efficient or competent enough? Will there be clashes in personalities? Will the clients appreciate my work ethic and how I choose to address their case matters? Yet at the same time, I wonder if I’m overthinking the process.
Yes, this was me. I quit my last firm in June but got 3 months of website time to recharge. I started at my new firm really reluctant to start over but have been doing really well in a different environment. I really needed the break though, so maybe try to take some time off.
I am right there with you. Learning new systems and being the new kid again fills me with dread. But I am also so burned out at my current firm.
Worried about starting at a new firm and being micromanaged.
That reality become true for me just a week ago. My attorney is set to retire but will still be working but the new attorney took over overnight. It was supposed to be a slow transition. After 22 years with my attorney this new one is already exhausting and its only been since the first of the year. As I embrace change and new technology this definitely could have been handled differently. Had I known I would have just moved on. Its the same thing as starting a new job. I know its a business and you have to take the emotions out but a little grace and respect go a long way to make everything move smoothly. Now I am not sure what to do I may most likely move on.
