First year I am not stuck doing this… I feel your pain. Being the only childless one early on sucks.

That’s pretty typical here. No complaints though. That’s part of being an associate

Oh Richard

Consider it your opportunity to shine and prove your worth. It has nothing to do with being childless or them having children. Partners can take vacations (as can you) and team members cover for others while they are out.

To be fair, I’m the poster and I have two children, I admire the partners who always take their vacations on school breaks. Makes me happy! Just drowning!

Commenting on my own post to say I have two children and I deeply respect the partners who take all of their vacations on their kids breaks. I do hate that everything is exploding while they’re gone.

I have interviewed for three different positions within DOJ in the national security sector and I always seem to get passed up. I have prepped extensively and have been my true self. I have also expressed my passion for the work. I used to work at DOJ in another office as an attorney too. I’m not sure if these offices just don’t like me or what I say, but im wondering if anyone has experienced this and how did you improve or get hired in the field?

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.
