I am in my late-ish twenties and have been working in a large, highly competitive corporate law firm for the last two years after spending many years studying and paralegalling. I liked my job but it was obviously highly stressful and long hours. My self confidence was basically shattered throughout the process but I said one day it will all be worth it, I'll find an area of law I like and have a decent income and be one of the few members of my generation who can by a house in my country which is in a big housing crisis.
Anywho, I recently got word that myself and several other people in my class (about 50 people started as new lawyers at the same time as me, if you're not familiar with law firms) were all being let go largely because of covid cutbacks. I won't get into it, but my firm also fucked us over quite significantly during this layoff process. I thought at the time, this isn't so bad, I come from a good firm, shouldn't have too much of a problem finding a good job right? No. It's been 4 months and I still haven't found anything. Most of the rest of us who got let go have had to either move to work in their families firm (if they're lucky enough to have them) or taken enormous paycuts to work at tiny firms or like me, found nothing. I am struggling to get any decent interviews and then when I do, I feel like I'm being really heavily judged for leaving my previous firm.
I just want a job that will help be grow my skills in an area I'm interested in and pay me enough money to live. Law should be one of these careers where you work really hard and you get a return. I feel like I've wasted the last ten years. I could have done literally a million way easier things than this, and now it seems that despite all that I'm basically unemployable because there are a million times more junior lawyers than jobs. Meanwhile everyone is like 'but what do you mean, all lawyers are rich' or alternatively 'the jobs market is fine, it's only restaurants/bars/hotels etc that have been hit by covid, so you must be doing something wrong'
Anyway, rant over. I just feel so exhausted and defeated and let down. I'm ashamed of being let go and I don't know who I am without a job and its so hard being turned away by firms that I would barely have even considered before. I don't even want to talk to my old friends from my firm because I feel so bad for still having no job. I want to stop job hunting and just never leave my room again.
