Best strategies to back out from getting staffed on a project trying to confirm you?
I work small (tiny) law. I make mid-100s, so not great salary, but my firm is so laid back. If I bill 1000 hours, that's fine (we were a remote firm before COVID made it cool). Compared to all my peers getting crushed under 1800+ billable requirements, I've got severe imposter's syndrome. Did I do something right or have I set myself up for failure by avoiding the pressure cooker? (I was at a firm for 2 years that was 1800+.) Curious as to thoughts/experiences.

Have any of you gotten RFEs for H1B visa extension? If yes, how long does it take to get it cleared? The new immigration law firm Deloitte has hired is so incompetent.
Burning out - I'm only around half a year into consulting. If I take medical leave (I have a psychiatrist) for a few months and then return and apply to other jobs, will it damage my career prospects? Will future employers immediately throw away my application?
