What have you learned about this role that you wish someone would have told you before you entered the industry?
That's a good question. I wish somebody would have told me to do a lot of introspection and try to understand myself better, my strengths, and weaknesses. I would have considered whether they truly align with the field or occupation of being an attorney.
I think a lot of people, or at least I, didn't have a great idea or perception of myself. Had I had a better idea, maybe I would not have even gone into it.
