Unless her new colleagues find her as annoying as her previous ones and she is 'managed' out of the business. To quote one of my favourite lines from game of thrones 'there's no cure for being a bleep'

the six figure salary seemed more than adequate compensation for the long hours…
A six figure salary doesn't make up for missed family time, the gruelling hours, the pressure put on you - money doesn't solve everything
This is the thing, money is valuable to a certain point, I would imagine her getting a partner has affected her perspective on things
i agree, but for someone whose entire personality has been constructed around the idea of being a solicitor and a “magic circle” trainee there is literally no way that eve went into this job without an inkling of what life would be like. It is often the case that that the people who excel in their law degrees struggle with legal practice…
But a six figure salary for a few years in your twenties will set you up nicely with a house deposit and the start of a decent pension before you step back or away.
Well done for knowing it's not for you, I know plenty of law grads who only figured that out further down the line! There seems to be lots of rose tinted glasses in Law Schools.
Oh I want to stay in law, but I've definitely moved away from the "magic circle" ideal that a lot of people seem to have, people think it's all high flying and Suits-esque, but I've found a job in a small-town, family firm where there's none of that pressure and it's 40 hours a week and done. Is it the same pay? No, but I'm good with that
I mean it’s really not that bad, I’m scrolling on my iPad rn lol. I personally find the job incredibly interesting, like I’m currently working on a takeover of two of my favourite beauty companies. You only get that kind of work in the city. And the hours in corporate can really die down as it’s so deal dependent. WFH has also made seeing family during the week easier.
From what I gather Eve just never really cared about the reality of the job and wasn’t very good at her job. No respected 4th year trainee does a legal tech seat sorry, you would be wanted too much in more prominent departments
I agree! I really like my job as well. It can become super intense...but not always. The work and clients are really quite cool and I get most of my weekends completely off. I do often work fairly late into the evening but - at least at this stage in my life - I don't mind that. The money is a bonus and I personally think we are overpaid for what we do lol haha but not gonna complain.
At the end of the day, everyone has their own personal limits as to the hours and intensity of work that they're able to withstand until they leave the profession. I personally know quite a number of my classmates who left law right after their training ended, one of the top students left 3-4 months into being qualified due to the rigorous work hours in a top firm.
There's also a mass exodus of new lawyers within the industry in my country and the law society president said this "The 21st-century lawyers are different. They want to marry, not the law, but a human being. They, too, want to work hard. They, too, want their work to have meaning. But they also want other things that human beings want: to have children, to build a home, to have a life outside the law."
like sorry we realized early on that we're human beings who don't want to lead miserable, work-focused lives like you lot. I think the pandemic has also put into perspective that there's no point to being a corporate slave.

She's posting a video about leaving law tomorrow. She teased it on her Instagram stories
I can't wait to find out how much I can get off a skillshare membership using her discount code.
You just know it's going to be all about ** personal growth ** which isn't a bad thing per se but God, I wish she was gonna spill some tea about what it's really like in that kind of environment.
Drink every time she will say “disrupt the industry”
Every time she does that annoying smirk/shoulder raise/head tilt (if that makes sense lmao)
Also I knew it would happen, but I'm kinda loving seeing her go from being convinced she's the next big thing in law and is going to change the world to leaving the industry

No Skillshare sponsor which a refreshing change. She ended up not liking law so left it to do something else. You can't begrudge her that to be fair so good luck to her. I hope her journey of personal growth leads her to be less annoying sometimes that would be nice.
The whole big reveal and a ‘personal journey’ video and she’s still working for linklaters… just not as an actual lawyer. Sigh.
