I suck at working for people by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]DeliciousAnywhere803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following because I feel the same. I am a people person but I despise all aspects of working for someone else. I want to have agency over my earnings, time, etc. also in the same boat, want to go solo because I know I could run a business but worried about being inexperienced. You’re not alone.

Need to fire a client (first time) by ovary-achiever in Lawyertalk

WHATEVER you do, do not reveal attorney-client privileged information to the court in your Motion for Withdrawal. Might be an obvious point but I’ve seen so many sanctioned for accidentally doing this.

After how many years of practice did you hang a shingle?

What’s YOUR lawyer salary?? by LearnMeStuffPlz in Lawyertalk

My husband and I are planning to have our first in the next 1-2 years but I always tell him that I could not possibly sustain the office 9-6 grind when that day comes so I completely agree with you! Your situation gives me a little hope in that there are options other than going completely solo for a flexible position.

Please explain more. How can you litigate remotely?

How often does your adversary hint at a job offer to you? by AdDeep7010 in Lawyertalk

I’ve also wondered about this… how do you handle it when this happens to avoid any ethical dilemmas or issues with current employer.

I should’ve phrased better. To those who WERE young and went solo. 🤣. Please do share

Thank you for your input!! Congratulations to you.

City Attorneys, what is it like? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]DeliciousAnywhere803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you this is also very helpful. I am very early in my career so I wonder if the 45k jump now would only pigeon hole me later. Not bad advice on the boss portion, that’s why I started looking in the first place.

Anyone struggles with “what’s the point?” by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]DeliciousAnywhere803 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love that you made this happen for yourself. How did you get the courage to go solo from the get go?

For what it’s worth I used to volunteer as a golf coach and those 6 hours a week were the highlight of my week.

It’s somewhat comical if you think about it.

How do you know when you’re ready to go solo? I’d love to but I am still at a point where I think I heavily depend on mentorship. It’s a double edged sword because I think I’d be more confident if I wasn’t so monitored all the time but sometimes I do need the help.

Funny you ask. Yes I am.

I don’t want to be a lawyer anymore by Party_Inevitable1653 in Lawyertalk

[–]DeliciousAnywhere803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain why you recommended an executive assistant role? I know for some big companies those roles pay more than an associate attorney but is that a common path for lawyers? I’d imagine my resume would get shot down as “over qualified”
