looks like I've got some explaining to do...

[@mariapachent8197]

Your videos helped me right from the start of my LPC all the way through to securing my TC and I will forever be grateful! You also took the time to respond to my emails asking for advice and they were always so detailed and gave me so much help! Whether you're a solicitor anymore or not, you're a complete success and recognising you're not happy and taking action is a huge achievement! You've inspired so many 😊

[@simranjeetkmann]

omg this acc brought tears to my eyes- means so much to me to read this. a thousand thank yous to you ❤

[@emmaberwick1479]

Maria, would it be okay to ask what firm you work for?

[@rutaa3957]

Im proud of you, I have been following you and I know how you felt, I also passed my Lpc in London with commendation, although which came to my surprise I could not even get a legal assistant job, legal secretary, not even talking about paralegal position in England. I then moved to another country ( my homeland) and currently working as legal officer in commercial law firm, I have been working long hours, I do not exercise, I do not have time for hobbies, I work on weekends, when I dont work Im thinking of work and stressing about it. I also need a break cause Im at a breaking point, I feel miserable. Im about to give my resignation letter. I know the feeling of being so busy that you cannot even get out of spiral and you make yourself believe that things will not get better. Ah, your video gave me some hope that there is a light somewhere and I need to get out of this ❤

[@simranjeetkmann]

Ahhh glad this video helped. I am so sorry to hear that you're struggling - there is always light!!

[@llabyrinthinessoul]

hey lovely, youre not a failure at all. it's like how you see many doctors who become disillusioned when they actually start practising outside of medical school despite loving the stuff they studied etc. it's normal and shows so much courage and honouring of your authentic self, rather than live in fear and settle in something you dont enjoy just because you're scared you wont find something else. happy for you!

[@simranjeetkmann]

So true - thank you so much for sharing this!

[@marialove3239]

Thank you so much Simran, you have helped me so much with my legal career and Ive met you a couple of times at various networking events. last year my legal career took a complete 360. I lost a really amazing TC at a top London law firm because I failed my SQE by 1%. I was devastated, and started thinking about my whole career, a career in law has a funny way of consuming your whole life, and I was thinking I that I gone too deep into it now to turn back... I HATED going on linkedin and I was so embarrassed posting that I am no longer a "future Trainee soliciter at X". But, I am now paralegalling again but in house, in a company which I never thought I would be in, and I am loving it. Whilst Im not planning on being there long-term and hopefully I can retake my SQE exam again next year, but at the moment It's just realising that your career doesnt always go the way you think it will, but Im a big beliver that everything happens for a reaon

[@simranjeetkmann]

Wow, this is incredibly inspirational! I am so glad we have met in person - I'd love to continue this conversation again at another event, so please keep an eye out for me. I'm so sorry the SQE result meant it didn't go your way, but this is such a good example of how it's enabled you to experience something you otherwise would not have. I'm so proud of you!

[@nadazameer7120]

Simran! I just want to say how incredibly brave and authentic it is of you to share this. You are not a failure for changing paths-it takes so much strength to pivot when something doesn’t feel aligned anymore, even when it’s something you once dreamed about. Every chapter of your journey-being a lawyer and now moving into DE&I-adds to the incredible person you are, and your story will inspire so many people who feel stuck or afraid to make a change. You’ve already impacted so many lives (mine included), and this next step will be no different. Please be kind to yourself-you’re doing something amazing by embracing what’s right for you. Sending so much love your way. 💛

[@simranjeetkmann]

Ahhhh!!! WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS! This means so much Nada, thank you ❤️

[@Akta]

I felt so similar to this as a dentist and relate to so much of what you said. It's been almost 3 years since I left and I haven't regretted it once. Life feels so different when you're living it in a way that's aligned with you - I'm so excited for you ❤ well done on having the courage to be true to yourself

[@simranjeetkmann]

Akta!!! Your comment means the world - so glad you also related to this! Let's defo catch up soon x

[@miriamowusu6778]

Love this for you! Life is too short to be getting the daily scary feeling! You are an absolute boss for being bold and brave! Congratulationssss!

[@simranjeetkmann]

So kind - thank you!!

[@PrettyKitty0523]

This video is as helpful as any other that you’ve ever posted as plenty of people feel the same and feel alone in that situation. You’ve always been fantastic at helping and guiding the young legal community so the switch sounds like a natural fit for you. I hope you’re enjoying your new role and I’m really excited to see whatever you share next! Thanks ☺️

[@simranjeetkmann]

Ah, this is so kind - thank you so much!

[@MsLivinglegend19]

I completely understand your emotions but you’ve made a decision which honours yourself and your ideals and that’s what is most important.

[@simranjeetkmann]

FACTS - thank you!

[@Sibongiseni_Qubic_Qwabe]

Glad to see you back, your videos have been appreciated and I cannot wait to witness what comes next

[@simranjeetkmann]

Ah thank you!!

[@BalajiC-ho5xs]

Hey Simran, I am really proud of getting to know someone like you. You’re a strong willed person and a fighter. I am sure you’ll reach greater heights in the near future. The best is yet to come! Shine on!!!✨😃🙌🏻

[@simranjeetkmann]

Thank you!!

[@VGOK]

Wooo the return we have been waiting for 🎉🎉

[@simranjeetkmann]

hahaha safe my bro

[@cookielicious82]

You are not a hypocrite you just moved forward towards what you are called to do… your journey to you to where you are. I’m in the middle of the sqe and trust me it’s rough. But I left a job I was earning well because it felt dull and empty and I decided to leave and take my time to first pass then find the right position. Life too short to sit there and pretend as long as the title is there…. You are still very accomplished and able x

[@simranjeetkmann]

I've heard similar things about the SQE, hoping you get through it!!! Wishing you all the best! You're right, life is too short!

[@sophiec-d]

I watched your videos when preparing for TC interviews. I think you’re incredible and taking this step for yourself is something you should be extremely proud of !! You’re bossing it❤️🎉

[@simranjeetkmann]

Ahhh thank you!!!

[@josephrogers6459]

Really appreciate you sharing this. Thank you.

[@simranjeetkmann]

Appreciate you for watching!

[@Tanvix]

Can't wait to see what's next to come and we are ALL SO proud of the woman you have become! Xxx

[@simranjeetkmann]

Tannners!!!! U babe, thank you!

[@zaminsyed7875]

its okay, its life and its really important to take actions and put yourself first, nobody is a failure and your definetly not, btw what role are you doing now? i couldnt hear properly

[@simranjeetkmann]

Thank you so much! I work in Brand & Marketing currently at AS :)

[@homewithbb]

Your 13 year old self would be extremely proud of you! You have achieved so much and helped countless of aspiring solicitors into the profession, and you are continuing on your work. Honestly you are absolutely winning at life x

[@simranjeetkmann]

Thank you sooo much!!!

[@Avant402]

You are not a failure, not by any means. You took the time to examine life and to do some personal analysis, that does not make you a failure, that makes you a success!! I for one am very proud of you! Much success and happiness to you, and welcome back ❤️

[@simranjeetkmann]

So trueeee - thank you!!

[@HeroicMermaids98]

Really relate to this as someone who did the whole LPC and now I feel I don’t even want a training contract. It’s a tough game.

[@simranjeetkmann]

Frrrr

[@sachinkambadur6940]

This video is going to help me with another career change as I am not happy in the job I am in at the moment but I am working towards a goal that I have wanted to achieve since I was a little kid. Thank you

[@simranjeetkmann]

No problem! Hope my video provided some perspective

[@damieo8331]

Really proud of you ❤

[@simranjeetkmann]

Thank you!! 🥺

[@vikasaggarwal1986]

Satsriakal dhidi hope you have been keeping well missed ur vlogs

[@simranjeetkmann]

SSA! Thank you :)

[@damieo8331]

Have you heard of Eve Cornwell? She’s a youtuber around your age and has had a really similar journey to you. She’s no longer working as a lawyer either-I think you’d find her videos really helpful! Xx

[@simranjeetkmann]

Fun fact - she was in my year at uni! I watched her video and could defo relate to some of the things she mentioned!

[@damieo8331]

@ omg no way! Bristol produced some great people 🥰 (me included lol)

[@jemma_palma]

The flop is always the darkest before the slay x

[@simranjeetkmann]

this quote should be framed tbh x

[@sidraahmad7693]

Thank you for sharing, sending love and positivity your way 🙏🏽 your videos helped me secure a TC, I’m forever gratefulI. I hope you continue to feel happy and positive in your new journey 🫶🏼

[@simranjeetkmann]

Thank you so much!

[@mia-faithcoats2608]

The 13 year old you may have dreamed of becoming a Solicitor but, she did not know at the time the extent of the difficulties that come with it. Just as you said, becoming a Solicitor is an extraordinary achievement in itself, it takes bravery to face the feelings you had and make the change you needed. I know that if you were able to sit down with 13 year old you today and tell her your story, she would be proud 🩷

[@simranjeetkmann]

This is so kind, thank you x

[@musab6606]

🫶 thank you for sharing this. I can relate so much

[@simranjeetkmann]

No problem 😊
