“There is no perfect job. There will be days where you’ll get tired of doing the same old thing, or be pissed at your boss for being unreasonable.”
“At this point, it’s more important to know what you do not want, than what you want.”
“Blue Ocean strategy!”
“There are no mistakes. All these opportunities for growth will eventually lead you to where you’re supposed to be.”

These are just some of the many advice that have been graciously given to me by college friends and law firm partners alike. This article has recently joined this roster. Professor of Law John Manning ’85 states that:

“Your tummy is your best advisor.” Students should do their research and arm themselves with the facts, Manning said, but ultimately, they would have to trust their guts, and know that if they make the wrong decision, they will be able to fix it later.

After having received multiple offers after a full month of ruthless job-hunting, I had the good problem of deciding which career opportunity to choose. I was already leaning towards a particular offer but there was just one thing holding me back: it’s not what most lawyers are expected to do after passing the bar.

But tonight, I’m shutting all these voices out.

This is it. I can feel it in my gut.
