Anyone else feel like planning and goal setting have become futile? I was always a huge planner, organized and thinking ahead. Now I think I'm stuck in reactive survival mode. This year, I've lost the ability to see past tomorrow.

Does anyone wonder how they know whether they are a good lawyer? I feel like i work on long drawn out cases where it will take years for the “victor” to emerge so it’s not clear whether I’m actually a good advocate or not.

1st year associate (NY) thinking about lateraling into a large insurance defense firm from Municipal work/L&E, pay jump 75 to 125 and hybrid as opposed to fully in office. Basically is the pay jump/hybrid worth giving up current practice area to ID? If it turns out I hate ID, thoughts on leveraging the litigation experience and substantive knowledge of L&E to then lateral again within 2 years?

Looking for insights from any seller at any of the hold co’s. I have an opportunity to join a new team at a hold co but I’m not sure if it will be a great move to make. I’m doing very well where I am, book of biz is thriving, but the allure of working at a larger company than my small company seems like a great resume builder. I’m not sure where I want to be in 5 years, but this seems like a good way to make myself more appealing. I’ll have to rebuild my book of biz, which means pay cut.

What should I expect to pay for some career coaching, maybe 2-3 times a month for the summer, to improve my confidence and clarity on career goals? Recommendations for coaches would be appreciated! I'm thinking of a generic coach not a lawyer coach - I am in public interest law & do not have the income for lawyer hourly rates.

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

Recently, our client has decided to retract their job offer to a newly hired candidate who is currently rendering his notice period and is already on his last day with his current employer. This is because they have changes internally that have affected the new hiring. I really feel frustrated, guilty, and awful for the candidate. We are already down to the final steps of the onboarding process and should have been his first day next week. (Cont.)

As an AM, how would you approach a situation where your stakeholder (a sysadmim) doesn't want you to contact people in the org directly, but rather go through them.

Since you all are wise, I have a question, not really a confession though…but I will add a confession at the end..

If you submit to a specific role at a large company and they reject you for the role you applied, would you still be on file if there are other roles that are a match? Or, do you have to apply to each role? I am thinking it is the latter.

Confession question…how often do you stalk exes or people you used to work with? Like someone will come to mind and I will immediately (cont)

How do you deal with the stress and anxiety from unnecessarily rude and aggressive judges? There is one in the northern district who has a hair trigger temper and will find any reason to lash out if he doesn’t like the party in front of him. I have a small issue in front of him this week and have had anxiety about it all day.
