The start of any career is going to be tough at times - new teams, new ways of working, new concepts, new skills, new technology 🤔 Here are just a few of the things I've found difficult at times over the last 24 months: getting used to different people's working styles, sometimes having to make sacrifices to do well in my job, being at the bottom of the ladder often with less visibility on the big picture, and feeling like the tasks I am doing require relatively little knowledge or skill. But I think I've learned to work through these challenges, and better cope with balancing work and my life outside of work, workplace politics, and my position as a junior within a large organisation 😊 So, I hope that you find some of these lessons helpful as you start your career, and hopefully you can avoid making some of the mistakes I've made over the last 24 months 🙌 00:00 Intro 00:45 Compete on quality not quantity 01:53 Make sacrifices at the start 02:52 Assume you are wrong 04:14 Spend longer than you think you need 04:56 Enjoy downtime 05:18 Work from home less than you want to 06:01 Communicate your priorities early 06:52 Ask the question, once you've spent 10 mins thinking about it 07:34 Third Way Legal 08:54 There is such a thing as a stupid question (one you can Google) 09:49 Be clear on the deliverable before you start 10:51 Use Airpods (Pro) in the office 12:02 12 Exercise in short bursts, even when you're busy 12:49 Spend like you earn 25% less 13:44 Write down everything when someone is giving you a task / briefing 14:32 Steer clear of the panickers, competitors & all-round drama bringers 15:28 Upgrade your work-from-home setup 16:12 Re-read before you send 16:54 Learn to protect yourself 18:42 Relax (your career is long) 19:21 Explore opportunities outside your current job 20:53 Learn shortcuts 21:20 Make other people's lives easy 22:25 Learn beyond the task 23:40 Use people's assumptions as motivation to crush it ………………………………………………….

About Me I'm a trainee lawyer, part-time YouTuber, son, brother, startup founder, boyfriend, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)! Around that, I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this YouTube channel 😀 Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS. 📸 Instagram –   / liam.porritt   🌍 My little kingdom – https://liamporritt.com ………………………………………………….
