Dec 16, 2019

In Episode 019 of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah talks with Morgan Hall. Morgan left legal practice after 4 1/2 years and is now a sales executive at a tech company.

In this conversation, Morgan shares about:

• Why she’s “happier than ever” working in sales;
• Being raised to think that her only three career options were doctor, lawyer, or engineer;
• Being pushed in the direction of becoming a lawyer because she had a strong personality and “liked to argue,”
• Hating law school, but thinking that was normal;
• Why worrying about looking like a quitter kept her in law school, even though she was unhappy;
• Disliking her first job after law school, but thinking at first that she just needed to find a different lawyer job;
• How she dealt with others not understanding why she wanted to leave;
• How generational differences regarding the perception of work complicate these conversations;
• The most important thing to remember when considering leaving the law;
• Dealing with the reality of having a large amount of student loan debt;
• and much more!
