We at Mainspring Legal know this is the time of year where many associates are FLUSH WITH CASH… okay, not really flush, as we’re not Wall Street bankers or Silicon Valley rock stars, but with six (or even seven) figures in our pockets, many of us have dreams of doing something better. Like, for example, becoming a Bitcoin billionaire like the Winklevii twins or creating Uber but with drivers who aren’t sociopaths or finally getting around to creating your own brewery, like you were destined to do!
But before you do anything rash, our very own recruiter/comedian Matt Ritter made a little video for you. Here are 10 jobs you want to leave Biglaw for (and have sworn to family and friends that you’re going to), but probably shouldn’t!
Our teams across all our divisions — Lateral Link, Cadence Counsel, and Bridgeline Solutions — agree that you should find work that is challenging, fulfilling, and well paid. And once you put the egg nog down and realize you don’t really want to do any of the things on this list, and that you just want a better law job, give us a call!
