3 tips I always give to first-time home sellers that make my work easier:

1. Try professional photos. You have one chance to impress possible buyers. Use it wisely.
2. Be flexible with home showings. Maybe your possible buyers won't appreciate your house's potential if there are dogs running around or too many people inside.
3. Respond promptly to a purchase offer. Some people don't have much time to wait for an answer. Be quick and responsive!

Any tips for eating healthier on a biglaw schedule? I had chocolate-covered potato chips at my desk for lunch today. I am not a well person.

I’m feeling guilty for feeling burnt out. I’m a second year in a quasi-lit role and my hours are not that bad (well below 2000), but I am exhausted by work and wracked with anxiety all the time. I feel terrible complaining because my peers bill so much more than me. I do incident response and my hours are unpredictable, so maybe that’s it, but I don’t know. Even when it’s slow I feel terrible. I worked for years before law school and didn’t feel this way. Is anyone else in the same boat?

I cried at my desk for the first time today. Year 3. I’m tired.

What is a reasonable expectation for number of documents to review per week for a junior associate? Managing a doc review with a lot of documents to go through and need to assign some batches out to a few junior associates. We’re at a firm where associates on average bill 2400 per year (just mentioning that for a general idea of workload expectations that our associates are well aware of). So we generally have an expectation that associates will grind it out but I also want to be (cont’d)

Anyone else change firms and realize the health insurance at their new place sucks?
I switched from one big law firm to another, but in different states. Reviewed benefits before taking job and it was normal medical plus CVS Caremark for prescriptions (but the benefits package also had a breakdown of $10/$15/$30 or 50 copays of prescriptions so it seemed like medical covered those too?). So a medication I have been prescribed for years and always filled at CVS is now $300/month.
