From Tricia Dunlap, Managing Partner
Our modern culture tells us that the best way to get ahead in your career is to change jobs every few years. As the narrative goes, this is the only way to earn more money or realize more opportunities.
I could not disagree more strongly, at least in the context of our legal profession. Success in our profession is entirely relationship driven. Yes, a great lawyer must be smart and educated, but I believe the real key to success lies in being human first. Our ability to connect with people, understand their problems and find solutions that work begins with our humanity. Building a book of business requires consistent, dedicated effort to nurture relationships over a long time. Job hopping disrupts this process, sometimes irrevocably. For lawyers, I liken job hopping to transferring colleges. Inevitably, you will lose credits, friends, and relationships with professors who know your history and respect your work. When you land at the new college, you’ve got to learn how to navigate its systems and processes. All of this disrupts forward momentum and you must work hard to regain traction.
Sometimes, you simply must move firms because the misalignment between what you want and what your current firm provides is simply too great to overcome. If that’s the spot you’re in, then I encourage you to be thoughtful and intentional before moving. Do the inner work necessary to truly know what you want your life to look like (personally and professionally). Then, think strategically about how to get the life you want. Finally, look for a firm that fits not only your strategic goals but also fits your philosophy for life and legal practice. What you seek is alignment. Fit. When you find that, you’ll find a home. Hopefully and ideally, that alignment with your new home will endure. If it does, you will almost certainly enjoy a deeply rich and rewarding life. Isn’t that the brass ring?
