I need to sit down with him and have a hard conversation about our office. I have a lot of respect for him and his expertise, but at the same time he has held back my career in the firm (he told me he wanted me more part-time than full). There is another firm that wants me to work for them and I have applied to law schools. Law school is not guaranteed, but pretty promising given my scores.
I want him to know that
1- I will not leave him high and dry last minute, but I do not yet know if I got into my first choice.
2- wouldn't mind working remote part-time for him while in school, but that I might have to work weird hours and unsure about how I would get paid.
3- It is nothing personal, but he has a different direction of the firm than I do. However, we are growing and he wants me to only work part time.
I don't think he would fire me for all of this, but sometimes he gets very emotional and disappears for days. He has been saying there is a lot of stress at his home, too. I don't want to make things more complicated for him.
