Ever heard that making it in the legal profession as an immigrant in Germany is basically impossible? Yeah, same here. So I sat down with my friend MJ a lawyer based in Berlin who proves that narrative wrong in the best way.
In this episode, MJ gets real about what it was like starting over from scratch, the challenges he faced, the small wins that kept him going, and the community he's building for other lawyers navigating similar paths. We also chatted about what helped him stay grounded, how he stayed focused, and of course, some good ol' gist sprinkled throughout.
Whether you're in law, thinking of moving to Germany, or just love hearing real stories about resilience and reinvention this one’s for you.
