#WhyIAmASolo - I Don't Need To Worry About Things Like Lateral Moves To Another State.

Making a Move To A Lateral Market Out Of State, What Associates Need To Know. Say what? Lateral moves? Out of state? No more loyalty to the firm? What Associates need to know? Wow. As a solo, I have no need to change my job, my location, my way of life. I don't need to take another bar exam, uproot my family, or deal with new colleagues. Loyalty? My only loyalty is to myself, my family, and my clients. If you want to spend your life learning corporate speak, get a job at a big company or big law firm. When did money, big houses, fancy cars, and bling become so important? As life goals, let one old man inform you...they suck. I know that many millennials are better than my generation was at seeking a healthy work-life balance. But, you won't find it by moving from job to job seeking a better fit. Look inward, angel.
