[quote=Anonymous]What particularly makes you feel like an outsider? Figuring that out was helpful for me. I am also a lawyer and felt the same way in private practice, even as a partner. In retrospect, I think most of my colleagues felt like outsiders too and just put up a good front, so I didn’t realize how isolated many of them felt until after I left. I moved in-house and it’s been great because my “peers” are now not other lawyers, although I still do work with lawyers too. However, my most sustained contact is with people at my company in other professions (accountants, safety, BD, etc). This broader scope of interactions has helped me feel like less of an outsider because it’s less homogeneous professionally and there’s more actual diversity there too. So while I know what you mean, I hope you’re able to feel empowered to change this if that’s something that would make a difference to you.[/quote]
