I'm at a cross-roads... should I take the (non-law) job?

[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 112976, member: 17165"] Hey [USER=9815]@lawnoob[/USER], Having just responded to this via PM, I thought I would share the substantive content with the main forum too! Personally I do not think that you have anything to lose by reaching out to lawyers as a 'non-lawyer' (awful term!). Be ambitious and ask. The worst that they can say is no. In terms of coming across as a 'try hard': honestly I just do not think that this language exists in the working world (especially in law) and results from jealousy at school more than anything. I would have thought the firm would admire (and be impressed by) your willingness to be assertive. Enthusiasm is a positive thing! It is only my opinion, but I would encourage you to avoid this sort of thinking and lean into your ambition. It is your career and your future after all 🚀 [/QUOTE]
