Just remember your head isn’t the only one on the chopping block. There is a Senior Manager and Partner our there with skin in the game. Have them help coach you if you aren’t feeling confident. You aren’t in this alone.

It won’t resolve everything, but viewing stress in a different way will help. Stress isn’t necessarily always a negative. There are some really good talks on YouTube about this, and I think there’s a Ted talk as well. It’s just a shift in viewpoint, but it made a difference for me

My goal is to focus on getting financially independent, so then I won’t need to stress nearly as much because I won’t need the job

Already made this comment, but owning my own home without debt would do this for me

It’s not what you want. Listen to yourself. Do what you love. Don’t forget: you’re going to die sooner than you think.

As a law student interested in going into the field I’ve seen a lot of negative comments saying that only lawyers who couldn’t get into big law go into PA. Although I know most people try to get into big law initially, it is very competitive and many don’t stay past 2-3 years. You certainly don’t make as much going into PA as a lawyer but the pay is certainly not bad and the WLB is generally much better. Can anyone speak to how they got into PA and if you would rather be working in Big Law
