Q/A: How to Know When It’s Time to Quit and Find a New Firm or a New Career
05/21/25 • 11 min
In this episode of the Lawyer Life Podcast, I dive into the critical question of when it might be time to leave a law firm—or even the legal profession altogether. Through listener Q&As, I explore themes like burnout, job dissatisfaction, and why gaining clarity is so important before making a career change. I also emphasize that it’s never too late to pivot in your career and that you absolutely deserve to find fulfillment and purpose in the work you do.
