Congratulations!! Good on you for doing what you think is best! I’d love to connect on your journey as I’m thiiiiis close to doing exactly the same but have no idea what I can do next (other than absolutely no law firm).
Keep us posted

Good for you!
Look at you out there living my dream! Here's to being brave enough to find some peace.
Omg congrats!!! My husband just did that too (not law but finance). He's been happily doing absolutely nothing productive for 3 months now while I work increasingly insane hours and I want to join him so badly 😭
Do you think you'll search for an another opportunity in law, or look for something completely different?
Completely different.
Congratulations - that’s amazing! Enjoy some much deserved down time. I’m incredibly jealous & seriously considering doing the same thing.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I would also love to hear what you end up doing, as someone who thinks about quitting without her next job lined up several times a day.
Happy for you!!!
Congratulations!! Enjoy the time off!
Amazing - congrats!
Is this me from the future?? I hope to be in the exact same position at the end of next month and, while terrified of the unknown, think it’s kind of exciting to start over and open my mind up to literally any other kinds of jobs that I might want to try out!! Congratulations!!
First year here and already pondering the same... how long did it take you to leave? Others in the thread, how long do you plan to stick it out?
Move in-house and it might be longer …
You are an inspiration.
YES YES YES 🙌🏽 absolutely love to see this
Congrats on freedom!
FYI, if an alternate career doesn't immediately develop consider solo practice. Less $ typically but highly flexible and you're the boss. I've enjoyed it.
I‘m considering this as welly
I'm in the exact same boat - not sure of where I'm going from here. Got a job offer but am not sure it's going to be right for me, though I accepted because I need income... Time off has been VERY helpful in evaluating my life/career options. My last firm was COMPLETELY toxic - so I'm considering whether a different firm will be better or if I need to leave law altogether.
