Last week. I had 3 interviews one after the other. An interview with a very large major firm. An interview with a medium size firm in the same building I am in now and an interview with a small firm closer to me.
On top of having to prep myself for interviews I had to make sure no one at work knew! I did tell a few people for when something were to slip out but they had hunches before I even told them. I was walking on eggshells everyday in my best heels crossing my fingers I would not trip!!!
I received offers from all the firms and I had to weigh my options.
Firm # 1
Very large firm. Great benefits. A shorter commute to work. Same are of work I am in now. My only con was my interviewers seemed cold and dry. Hmmmm could I work in that kind of environment??
Firm # 2
Medium size firm. Okay Benefits. The interviewers seemed very friendly and nice. Same are of work I am in now. My only con was I would be in the same building just a few floors down.
Firm # 3
Smaller size firm. Okay Benefits. The interviewers seemed very friendly and nice. Same are of work I did in CA. My only con was did I want to go back to working in a small firm and give up the big firm perks???
I had lots of thinking to do and very little time. I ultimately accepted the offer from the smaller firm. I chose the smaller firm because I knew it would be more challenging because it was the area of law I worked on in CA. It would be interesting too. Also I think I like working in a more intimate environment with leeway as oppose to a Corporate environment where everything is by the books.
I gave my two-week notice already and my last day is February 28th. I start my new job on March 4th! I'm excited for this new change. Change is good!
Goodbye Downtown STL. Hello Clayton.
