Hello,

I'm a first year at a mid sized firm and I don't want to be a lawyer anymore. The problem is, I don't really know what to do.

Were you then able to find a fulfilling career?

Any and all questions are welcome regarding leaving Big Law to go in-house or non-traditional, starting your own venture, avoiding burnout, or really anything you want to ask!

A thread will be dropped in the morning, and close at the end of the workday. Tony will be available and popping in all day to answer your questions.
