It's Time To Quit Your Job If You Answer Yes To These Ten Questions. Anyone who has ever worked for someone else has probably experienced the feelings these ten questions are designed to discover. Some, such as the Sunday scaries, are even felt by solo practioners, the week before a trial or emotion filled coming week. But, most of these questions just don't apply unless you are in a toxic work environment created by a boss, co-worker, or other person in a group environment. If you are in BigLaw, and you answer yes to most of these questions, the stress caused can be amplified by the natural stress of law practice. Yes, leaving a big salary can be scary. But, trust me, money is no substitute for mental health. I would rather be poor and happy, than subject myself to constant stress in a work environment. You will not starve if you opt for a solo practice. You probably won't have luxuries that others have; but, in the end, spend your time developing a happy relationship with another human being. Your money can't hug you in the middle of the night.
