Annie Little talks about shifts in law practice and career searches in the Covid-19 era

For the first episode after this Covid-19 break, I’m speaking again with Annie Little, a former lawyer turned career coach specializing in coaching lawyers. We jump right into what this new reality means for lawyers thinking about career shifts. There are obviously a lot of challenges in this new reality, but there are also a lot of opportunities. And I hope this episode is more hopeful than anything.

We discuss:

• Big firms are generally cutting salaries over laying off lawyers 
• Will some of these structural changes, like remote work and flexible hours, become permanent or more prevalent?
• Will law firms lean on people working from home to be available 24/7?
• It’s ok to feel disoriented, off-balance, and anxious
• How people are proceeding with exit planning in a world of uncertainty
• Be kind to yourself - don’t judge yourself more harshly than you would someone else
• Some people need a break from making big moves, others might find they have the time and space to give it more attention
• Don’t let this totally derail you from your hopes and dreams
• Take the time to speak to people and network
• We’ve spent our lives trying to keep “stable” jobs, just to find out that nothing is truly risk-free
