In this episode, we tackle the question every lawyer (or law student) eventually asks: what are my options? Cari and Annika unpack the myth of the “Goldilocks” legal job—one that meets all of your needs without compromise—and share candid reflections about how their priorities and definitions of success have shifted over time. From law school “buckets” to stress hive comparison competitions, this episode is about recognizing when it’s time to pivot, how your goals evolve, and why “perfect” may be less about the job itself and more about the life you build around it.
