Yeah completely. Private had me dreading work everyday and never catching up on the weekends. Public has me much more optimistic and passionate

Yes, my life has so much more balance and the pressure I used to put on myself in private is almost nonexistent now. Not that I'm lazy but the mental load decreases substantially

Oh absolutely. More pay and a way better work life balance... two huge important factors to me!!

So encouraging! Do you deal with less toxic personalities? Do you feel like you’re still able to grow as a lawyer?

Private is better to me. Public is just as overwhelming with less pay. No thank you

Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢
