[quote=Anonymous]This brings back memories! I from a small town in Pennsylvania and was first lawyer in family. Years ago I got my first job at a large law firm in its DC office. No real point, but I remember how excited I was and my mom and dad were so proud. I thought I'd grabbed the brass ring. I remember wheny first colleague left to go to an agency. Some other guy followed shortly thereafter. After two years I was immune to the departure get togethers in conference rooms. It's normal and I get it, and years later when I look back from my current situation - it turned out well - I almost get a little flush when I think how I naively thought I was stepping into lifetime employment with collegiality. What it did was set me up for a great post firm future and after 8 years in big law I have great friends from there all over literally the world. Good luck. Embrace the change. They're doing you a favor. Stay a good alumni. [/quote]
