A very belated happy new year (and almost Lunar New Year)!

I can’t believe that it’s already February.  I worked straight through the first week of 2015 and the rest of January was a blur.  It was a busy, busy month, with lots of normal work but also lots of time spent researching, networking, and….interviewing!

Yep.  After many, many conversations, research, and hours of self-reflection (and many glasses of wine over those hours), I’ve decided that I don’t want to be a partner.  The thought of ever leaving the firm makes me teary-eyed.  I’ve worked so hard, invested so much, and made so many good friends here.  But I find myself yearning to go do more somewhere else, to be more in charge, to go build something.

Most of all, I feel the need to take risks.  I want a lot of responsibility, over things that I may not be an expert in (or know how to do at all).  I want to make decisions on imperfect information. I don’t want to pass the buck when it comes to tough decisions.

So, I know it’s going to be a crazy next few years for me, but I can’t wait!
