Any advice for when you feel like everything you touch is going to shit? Second guessing every filing and piece of advice. To the point you are almost afraid to act? Omg what an awful day.

I start every day with 5-10 minutes of journaling. My prompt is "I accept myself even when..." It sets a nice tone for the day and I get to remind myself that I'm human and therefore fallible.

Second this! Also therapy has really helped me. Some friends have also had success working with a career or life coach.

No advice, just wanted to second this feeling. Therapy has helped but I fear the only real solution is leaving the law

AGC1's reply below is IT. 99% the time mistakes I've made have not affected my clients or their cases and the issue has been with my boss at the time who didn't appreciate having a human being for an employee. My boss now appreciates thoughtful, careful, accurate work, and also recognizes that shit happens. A lot of my anxiety around mistakes has evaporated as a result.

Yes. Work, kids, marriage. There have been times when it felt like nothing was going right

Get therapy. It helps you reframe your thoughts and helps a ton.

Interviewing with a small (50 people) boutique firm in a management position. They are in an industry I have 10 years of experience plus I have 5 years management consulting experience in B4 firm. Assuming the pay and potential bonus are reasonable what kind of challenges would I be in for? I already understand this would be a risk to join and help them grow but if I were successful I think it could be very rewarding.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄
