Any advice/feedback from similarly situated associates or partners at similarly sized firms?

It's so hard to not stress over this daily.

Is there such place as non toxic ID firm? Or does any of ID attys like what they do? I moved from general practice to an ID firm six months ago. Biggest mistake of my life.
