Part of the process of being an experienced lawyer is making decisions that you know will benefit yourself and your career. This could mean considering a change of firm, which can be daunting for many lawyers but is often necessary to progress in your career. Making this kind of decision can be stressful and difficult without the right kind of insight and advice.
As I wrap up another busy year of recruiting, I am reflecting on the most common reasons I hear from my candidates as to why they’re looking for a change. Over the next few months, I’d like to share some of my professional insights with you that will hopefully make the task of career change a little less stressful and help ensure you make the right decision when choosing your next law firm. The upcoming series of posts will focus on the top 10 things that should be taken into consideration when deciding whether to switch firms and if the new firm is the right fit for you personally and professionally. We’ll look into important topics such as researching potential firms, compensation structure, law firm culture, factors to consider when evaluating different options, and more. My goal is to equip lawyers with the knowledge they need so they are well-informed before making their choice.
I understand there are lots of factors involved in making this kind of decision, which is why taking an informed approach is essential for achieving success. My upcoming series of posts will provide actionable insights from my professional experience as a recruiter. I believe that lawyers need all the advice and information they can get to make sure they make a sound decision that will set them up for success in their career.
