Don't Wait for the World to Stabilize Before You Leave Your Legal Job

from The Former Lawyer Podcast · host Sarah Cottrell

When the world feels unstable, the idea of introducing more instability into your life by leaving your job can feel impossible. But waiting for things to stabilize before you address your career unhappiness might mean waiting forever. 2025 was a difficult year. If you're already in an overwhelming job, everything else happening in the world makes it even harder to think clearly about your career. But even in difficult years, lawyers leave the legal profession and find work they actually want to do. Even when things are rough, it's still possible. See show notes at formerlawyer.com/294
