That "Back to School" Feeling: A Perfect Time for Career Reflections

​

Growing up in the UK, September was always synonymous with the "back to school" feeling. It wasn’t just about new uniforms and school supplies; it was about the excitement of a new beginning. A new teacher, new books, and a fresh chance to set goals. September was the time to turn the page and start a new chapter.

Even now, as we transition into the warmer months of September, this feeling of renewal persists. The changing weather and the start of a new season make it a perfect moment to rest, refocus, and set intentions for the months ahead. With just four months left in the year, it’s not too late to make meaningful changes and set yourself up for success.

If you’ve been contemplating a career move, now is an opportune time to act. Reflect on where you are and where you want to be. Last year, the period leading up to Christmas was the busiest quarter I’ve seen in eight years of legal recruitment, and the trend is already beginning to repeat itself. With many lawyers heading overseas, the job market is opening up with fresh opportunities.

This surge in movement means that the perfect role for you could be just around the corner. By taking stock now, setting new goals, and exploring your options, you position yourself to start the new year with momentum and purpose.

So, why wait? Take advantage of this September spirit of renewal and make the changes you’ve been contemplating. Whether it’s a new role, a different firm, or a new focus within your career, now is the time to explore those opportunities.
