[quote=Anonymous]My first job out of law school was at a VERY small boutique law firm in DC practicing a unique type of regulatory law.  My bosses were total assholes and I was miserable there.  The partners weren’t good at the business of managing the firm, and the work load was very feast or famine in nature.  After a few years they told me I had no future at the firm and I should start looking for other jobs. One partner told me I should stop practicing law because I had no business being a lawyer.  I eventually got a job at a competitor law firm, and that firm shut down.  I heard from an old colleague that the partner who told me I shouldn’t be a lawyer was having mental health issues and had a nervous breakdown.  He ended up quitting the firm in a very awkward fashion, and he ended up mostly unemployed for 6 years.  He ended up approaching me at my new job about openings with my firm.  He’s now in a counsel level position at another firm, and I’m in a very good in-house counsel position, and he regularly reaches out to kiss my butt to try and get business from my company.
It was so hard having someone basically tell me I suck so early in my career; I’m so glad I didn’t listen to him and pushed forward build my own successful career.
