Long ago in a galaxy far away, a law school graduate would join a law firm as an associate and, if things progressed as planned, would eventually make junior partner, then make senior partner and would hopefully enjoy a long career at the same law firm.

Those times are long gone (if they ever truly existed). Today those of us who are managing law firms know that our young associates are getting barraged with calls from legal recruiters and headhunters from other industries every week attempting to entice them with the promise of a bigger better deal.  We also know that young associates, who are millennials and who have access to more bandwidth of information than at any time in human history, have a different perspective on their career options.
