“What if they make me an offer I have to consider?”
This fear stops lawyers from exploring. But talking to firms isn’t disloyal - it’s career management. Conversations give clarity, market insight, and relationships.
The best lawyers never stop having them.

Lawyers chasing the “perfect” role often achieve more but feel less satisfied.
Maximizers land top jobs yet spiral into second-guessing and fatigue.
True satisfaction comes from roles that meet key priorities - not perfection.

Lawyers excel at risk analysis - but that skill can stall careers. One candidate declined a meeting with a top firm, paralyzed by “what ifs.” A career chat isn’t a contract. Sometimes due diligence is just having the conversation.
