just wondering if anyone else misses having a well defined career path ?

i sorta miss it since i dont have a career anymore - but i make good money and have more clients every year.

Your career path is growing your client base, your income, and eventually, if you so desire, your firm.

Having a career path is good in some ways, but is bad to the extent it puts a ceiling on where you can be year to year (at least as a biglaw associate). You don't have a defined path in front of you, but if you hustle the sky is the fucking limit. You make your own destiny.

I kind of dream of just being able to take on bullshit cases and work from home on my own schedule.

If you want something like that, then the "career advancement" is to hire underlings and profit from their toil.

hint: BIGLAW is not a career path. its a high paying temp job. only the insane or massively risk adverse tools stay in it long term

in law you never have a career path.. its better to at least be in charge of ur own shit instaed of depending on some greedy kikes

it's possible to pave your career path by being good at something but getting customers is very difficult
