I started out my career as an associate in a top law firm. At every challenge, instead of rising up to the challenge, I tended to leave. I justified my move by saying to myself that I was not appreciated or that I just beat the firm to the punch line. It took me six years to make what I was making as a first year associate. However, I still kept on moving for fear that I would get terminated. Now, 20+ years out of law school, I am making approximately 45% of what I was making before. My friends that were loyal and patient are making much more money and have greater retirement benefits. Your advice is very good. I wish I could get into my Delorean and set the clock back. Now, it is survival time versus "frosh" time. I fully agree with your assessment. I started out my career as an associate in a top law firm.
