4 things we wish we knew before we started working 

😆

Hey, what do you think of the CCP? Kinda communist right?

Thank you 🥰 we’re enjoying the format too!

haha - not quite the points we raise in this video, but to respond to each of your points briefly: 1) on the whole, they're definitely not super fun; 2) whether or not it's "worth it" is definitely an individual assessment, and will depend on the person's circumstances and what stage of their career they're in; 3) salaries look pretty bad on a "per hour" calculation generally speaking, but to play devil's advocate, that also doesn't take into account the benefit of any experience gained on the job; 4) hard agree with this one we left our jobs as lawyers at big corporate firms because they no longer made sense for us at our current stage of life, but we're also quite aware of the fact that the value proposition is different depending on the person and where they're at with their career progression. Case in point: neither of us regret the experience we gained from the work that we did, and the skills we picked up while working those jobs will stay with us forever 🙌🏻

@@EmandLloyd So it's like I've discovered with banking - balance of probabilities says you take the job for the exit opportunities and go into it with a plan to leave after spending a couple of years proving your mettle. So it's essentially a filtration process for the companies that you DO actually want to work at.

Your legs look great in that thumbnail

Absolutely. It took us about 1-2 years of thinking and planning. Ultimately we decided not to engage in the sunk cost fallacy - i.e. instead of focusing on the ~10 years we had spent in law school and working as lawyers, we instead wanted to focus on the 40ish years of work and life we have ahead of us. The experience and skills we picked up as lawyers never leaves us either!

Good to know! Need to stay up to date on the best back crack tech 😂
