[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 32824, member: 2672"] It would be easier for me to count the number of lawyers I have recruited/worked with that hadn’t experienced some form of major self doubt than it would be to count those who had. Lawyers have to deal with being unsuccessful all the time - being told your work needs to be better, not winning a pitch, not get a deal over the line, losing a case in court, getting passed up for promotion, not getting the secondment you wanted. Because of that self doubt has a tendency to creep in from time to time - the main thing is how you deal with that doubt and turn it around into a positive thing, by it either driving you on to do something else, learning something new and thinking how you might do things differently next time. Ignore LinkedIn - it’s the worst brag-fest out there (of which I am equally guilty). People tends to put very specific information out there will a very specific agenda. It doesn’t really portray real life at all, so try not to get caught up comparing yourselves to others on there. [/QUOTE]
