Hello. I was wondering if there are any lawyers about who can give me an honest warts and all account of being a Legal Director in a law firm. I'm 10 years qualified, work in an international firm and currently a senior associate.
I've been approached about a move to another international firm to head up the team there as the current LD is moving in house. They've said legal director and partner are both open if I want to consider them.
I'm very flattered but have severe imposter syndrome and conscious that this move could be very stressful. I already feel quite overwhelmed with work at times and was hoping for more of a balance. Is that possible as head of team or would that be more stress and pressure. Anyone who has done this, please share your experience and views. I'd appreciate it hugely! Thank you
