A lot of people are being nostalgic and remembering life in 2016. What was your career like then? I was just getting started working as a lab tech.

Life was good. I was only 3 years into my career and had more buying power than I do currently. Getting a job was easy. A few applications and within a couple of weeks, I'd have at least 1 job offer. I miss those days.

I was wrapping up undergrad and life was so much simpler. No real responsibilities, tons of time with friends. Miss those days sometimes. I'd do anything to go back to my biggest stressor being a final exam.

I miss those days the most being not paying bills

Has anyone moved away from NY and successfully resigned from the NY bar? What are the consequences if you just don’t pay? The requirements are insane to officially “resign” - draft a motion, pay a fee, send proof of service - I honestly do not know what this nonsense means, I’m not a litigator for a reason. Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?
