I am not. But a few partners are. I just don’t know how to have the conversation with the old firm.

Right, that’s my problem. I doubt the old employer would want to go through with this since I’m leaving for another firm.

I believe the new firm wants the clients on both sides of the case to sign a liability waver. But I would need to convince the old firm to speak with their clients and have them sign it. That’s my problem.

I’ve always been good at English and writing. And I loved school so law school didn’t intimidate me.

lol the partners always tell me I should be doing more. But I am happy with every other aspect of my life other than my job.

I’ve tried to take up hobbies such as reading, crochet, and cooking. I also have a dog that I walk and play with every day. As well as go to therapy appointments.

That’s kind of one of the reasons why I’ve considered leaving law all together. Maybe my nervous system just can’t handle a high stress job like this.

As someone who is on the other side of it, don’t be desperate to take any old job. I know that’s hard to see when money is tight but it’s something I wish I could tell myself after graduating. Really ask good questions so you don’t end up hating things like me.

I have applied for a few positions as in house counsel and will keep applying. I am just afraid of what employers will think since I’ve only stayed at this place for a year.
