I wish I could! I loved the experience last year

I’ve never been—maybe someday.

You should ask your firms (1 year in advance), especially if they are AMLaw or bringing in significant money. Even if not, set aside some money (its costly), and budget to attend on your own. You can write these off on taxes usually. CYOC is great for making connections, building relationships, and finding new jobs (if you want) but you have to be present and put yourself out there. Make the business case for it to your practice groups and culture committees. But be smart about it. Budgets are requested at least 1 year in advance. You have to sell it to the firm if they don't already know about.

I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

First gen, first year lawyer here. What do you do when you have family members who expect money from me every paycheck. I try to stand my ground but I get guilt tripped, especially when those family members were there for me.

It’s getting hard to save money when there is this expectation that I must give them money every paycheck. It feels like I have nothing for myself.
