Why following the herd could kill your career:
The legal profession has become so crowded that only a small fraction of people can earn the coveted big-law partnerships that were promised.
This is a trend that happens in many other areas too. The stock market is on fire, so everyone jumps in to buy the next hot stock. History shows that they tend to always buy at the top and when the prices drop, they panic and sell at a loss. Bitcoin looks like the next best way to become rich. Fear of missing out pushes people into buying it at 20,000 per coin and those that bought at pennies were happy to sell it to them.The price subsequently plunges dramatically.
On a personal note, after attempting prestigious jobs and careers and failing at everything, I fell into recruiting. My focus—compliance, audit, regulations, corporate governance and risk—was mocked and derided. It was viewed as a backwater area of Wall Street that others turned their noses up at. I figured that there would be less competition, since it wasn't deemed glamorous or sexy. The area become blazing red hot with new regulations in response to widespread scandals.
The lesson I've learned is to choose the path less traveled. Don’t follow the herd up a mountain to your peril. Don't buy stock or cryptocurrencies just because everyone else is doing it. Find your own career path that’s right for you. Think of what you’re good at, where your skills best lie and what exactly you enjoy doing. Then, go for it! Don't worry if nobody else is going down that path.
Find your own mountain to climb that nobody else knows about, so that you’ll be special, unique and will succeed against fewer competitors.I am a CEO, founder, and executive recruiter at one of the oldest and largest global search firms in my area of expertise, and have personally placed thousands of profes...
