This time of year often calls for personal and professional reflection. It is a good time to show thanks and acknowledge your achievements over the past year. It is also good time to re-evaluate your employment situation – especially since the legal job market could not be hotter!
Loyalty is certainly an admirable trait, but if you are not willing to at least consider other jobs, you might be missing a real chance for career or financial advancement. COVID has clearly brought considerable change, most not so good, so it’s even more important to focus on the positives - including a robust market for job seekers. Not only is there current demand, but there is always an increase in job opportunities because people are on the move in the first quarter of the year.
Of course, the grass is not always greener elsewhere, but you will never know unless you are willing explore other options from time to time. Do yourself a favor and at least explore your options because there has not been better time to test the waters.
