I am really confused about my current position at a t1 law firm and on multiple levels - I haven't been able to enjoy the practice area, I also think I might want to do something outside law, and also don't really want to move to metro cities.
Thinking of taking a career break and figuring out my options. I feel like I am unable to explore my other options while working because it takes up a lot of my mental bandwith. Would you advise taking this route? Pls share if there have been similar experiences in your life.
Lots of exceptions including mental health.
