Actively practicing as an attorney is where you want to be. To reach that point, you need to set aside what you learned in law school. While valuable, law school forms the foundational knowledge but isn't the end goal. When starting your first job, everything changes. Holding on to the law school mindset, which is passive, will only hold you back. Instead, adopt an active mindset to excel in your role.

Most of my law school classmates aspired for jobs at biglaw. Even now, 35 years later, law school placement offices will do anything to draw big firms to campus. But even back in law school, I knew biglaw wasn’t big enough for me. 🧳Not big enough for my aspirations of using the law to somehow change the world. 💼Not even big enough for my name on the door or a signature block of a brief. Biglaw has been kind to many of my classmates and it has its big supporters here on LinkedIn. Fair enough. But also know this: if you think biglaw isn’t a big deal, you’re not crazy or alone. (I may not be crazy for biglaw but I can’t resist a big chair).
