Hi All, I recently interviewed at Amazon and Google for software engineer and passed both interviews. I have an offer on the table from Amazon but with Google I am officially in team matching and my recruiter tells me that the queue is pretty backed up now and it can take a long time. My question is should I take the Amazon offer now or decline Amazon and hold out for Google? I have heard that Google has better wlb/benefits. But I'm scared to decline Amazon without a guaranteed job offer.
Hi All,
Pls help me choose the best out of the below offers where i can get good career growth and work life balance.

YES! Work my a$$ off for little appreciation, feel undervalued, underpaid. Just over it. Looking forward to being able to pivot into something else.
This is me, too. What are you pivoting to, if you don’t mind me asking?
I hate not being able to work remotely. Going to the office for me specifically is an enormous waste of time.
Sounds like we’re in the same boat! I’m sooooo burned out! And it sucks! I hate taking time off because NOTHING gets done! As soon as I get back I have weeks worth of work “due today.” I’ve confronted her and the partners about how that stresses me out because it could of been done while I was out. But her excuse is “I don’t know how to do it.” She’s a fucking manager! And I know I need time away from the office but I can’t.

Not necessarily dread but more like frustration. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. The office politics is petty AF.
You bet! Nothing is worse than an inbox full of hostility first thing in the a.m.
Every day. I just quit my last firm though, we’ll see if that continues when I start my new firm
I dread it, but not because I hate my job. For me, it's because I hate having to be there in person. I'd be okay with doing the same work at home.
I definitely dread coming in to work in the mornings. So much to do and not enough time or support.
Not now, but I have experienced that in the past. I consider it a sign that it’s time to make a change. Figure out the specific things you dread and work from there.
I’m just tired of the chaos. I think it’s legal work.

I’ve felt that on Mondays because of Monday blues. Generally don’t feel the dread since I moved to a nontoxic firm. Commute can be horrible sometimes but I try to keep myself busy during that to distract myself (or even nap) and compensate with plenty of self care and recuperation when I come home.
I'm feeling similar from burn out. I was recently promoted to a supervisory position along with another individual. I have experience in the role through prior enployers whereas this other person does not. We were not trained rather just thrown into our roles and left to figure it out. She's floundering and dare I say drowning. I've spent the last three months holding her hand through just about everything. I'm all for offering a helping hand but I'm essentially doing my job and hers with little to show for it. What's worse is my years of managerial experience weren't even considered in salary as we were both offered base pay for this new position with zero willingness to negotiate. I'm bitter, resentful and burnt out and its only be 3 months!
Feeling the same way. I was an in-house paralegal for over two years, then went to another company for about six months until I was let go in June. I'm looking for work now and can't decide if I want to remain a paralegal or pivot into something else... The thing is I've only been a paralegal since I graduated, so that's really all I know.
I totally understand, I'm struggling with the same thing. Almost all of my professional experience is as a paralegal, and it seems difficult to break into a different industry
I wish I had a team of other paralegals I could work with. It's just me for my practice group, and I get so overwhelmed at times.
It has a lot to do with coworkers, also. I worked at a personal injury firm of about 12 attorneys and we only had 4 paralegals with no secretaries or legal assistants. Then I had to deal with two unprofessional women, who were suppose to be the COO along with the HR person who had a degree in decorating. Neither one has worked in a law firm and they have no legal background, so they don’t know how to be professional. I hated going to work because those two women gossiped about everybody, including the attorneys. It was a revolving door.
Everyday. I have to be in everyday and feel like I could work from home a couple days per week. We also mainly employ clerks and they leave so often that it’s hard to form strong bonds with them. It is also a small office and very lonely.
It doesn’t help the firm in undergoing changes I don’t agree with and the lack of communication is driving several people away.
Fortunately, I am not feeling that way. The only part the I "dread" is speaking to some of the clients. Many of them are "unhinged" for a laçk of a better word. At firms I worked in the past, many of these clients would be fired for the way they talk to staff, at this firm they don't.
I enjoy my coworkers and the attorneys. One of the partners is helping me with LSAT please prep. They cover my paralegal bar association dues and CLEs. Also, we have tremendous flexibility with our schedules and can work from home as needed. I prefer to work in one office, I notice I am the only one who does lol.
