1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I do not blame them for feeling this way. However, I do believe generalising experience in one law firm for the entire law firms market is not a holistic approach.
They are juggling between taking a break to decide whether they are suited for law AND pursuing job in a different law firm.
I am sure a lot of people have gone through this. Could someone shed some light on: 1. How they should go about this?; 2. What are other fields they could consider barring litigation, in house counsel, academics & public policy?
Having spent 5 years (+1 to 2 years for droppers) and money, how would one be able to justify leaving?
Plus, what are the streams you suggesting - suggest the ones that does not require investment.
