I’ve been at my current law firm for a little under a year and a half. First job as a paralegal and I am flourishing, despite an incredibly bad case of imposter syndrome. I was not looking for a new job, but a new opportunity fell right into my lap. I was offered Senior Paralegal at a salary that is 47% more than what I make now. I was not expecting this at all and I am super overwhelmed. I don’t know what I should do! Idk if i’m looking for advice or just words of wisdom/encouragement 😩
