What is state OCS?

like

Officer candidate school for National Guard. It is „part-time“, you do not go through the traditional course of three months, but it is 2 annual trainings for 2 weeks and one weekend a month for the duration of the program until you commission

Ya for sure

I've been looking at it but I hear the attrition rate is insanely high, to the point where I don't even know why some states run a part time program at all.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!

I’m so miserable every day is painful. I want to go tell pre-law school me it’s not worth the debt because you will hate this career and then feel trapped by the debt. And then I want to come back to present day, quit this life-leeching, soul-sucking job and start over doing something else entirely. Too much? Oh well. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
