So this is going to be a hard week for me. My last week at my law firm. Last week was hard enough with telling everyone my big news and that I was leaving my current job so I can't even imagine how emotional (and long) this week is going to be for me. I still haven't told everyone actually, just my family, friends, and co-workers. Gossip travels quickly around the courthouse so I'm sure everyone else will know soon enough.
Everyone I've told about my new job has been absolutely shocked. No one saw me making a career change at this point (in fact neither did I until the offer came up), but I know it's a good move and decision for me. This new job will open a lot of doors for me, doors that probably won't ever open with my current position. My boss has been incredibly supportive and agrees that it's a great move for me. That's helped a lot. I was so nervous telling him that I was leaving, but he said he'd support any decision I made. That's the kind of boss I have.
One of the hardest parts has been explaining to some people that yes, I'll still be an attorney, I'll still be maintaining my license, I just can't practice privately while I work for the court. So yes, I'll still be a lawyer. I'll just be a lawyer working for a judge, and I'm very excited about that.
