Associate in the NY office of a magic circle firm. Been really struggling with mental health issues for a long time - I feel like I’m begging for guidance/supervision and not getting any, and can’t get any support junior-wise either. I just get told I’m doing a “good job” but I’m pretty sure that’s just because no one is looking. Is the expectation just to magically figure out how to get things done solo, even if it’s the first time to do it? Is it better at NY-HQ firms that have more resources?

Can anyone help me with a referral to VNS Health?

Therapists and MHT/BHT's in this bowl, anyone feel like your leadership does not understand anything about how the job works? Or how much effort goes into it? There's next to no compassion for the well-being of the techs where I work, and the strain has caused a few people to quit.

I’m trying to go back to the basics. How do you guys structure thoughts around identifying the correlation between 2 variables? A basic example: the number of steps I take in a day and the hours of sleep I got that night.

I just found out my new coworker has ADHD. While that doesn’t bother me, I have never worked with someone with ADHD. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Hello,
I graduated in June with a dual BSBA in healthcare management and human resources management/organizational management and two associates degrees in business and arts. I have twelve years of experience as a certified clinical medical assistant.

I'm having trouble finding my first job as a healthcare manager. After submitting many applications and receiving so many rejection emails, I've become frustrated. Any advice anyone can give is greatly appreciated.

Who are people using for auto and homeowners insurance? Currently paying Erie $878 per year for 2016 BMW 428i in Arlington, no claims or tickets last few years. Just did an online quote with Progressive, and for identical coverages it was $200 less, BUT their homeowners was about $500 more so total cost worse. Geico comes in higher too.

Every manager on my unit is hot and mine looks like a hobbit. Life is so unfair

I am working as business PM on critical project and implemented a regulatory solution which helped bank saving YoY 1 Mio USD - in today's dept. town hall, my manager(cluster PM) along with dept. head presented a case study of my project on how innovative solution can save millions for a bank - disappointed that I was not even mentioned once and worse part was that, the slide they presented was also prepared by me ☹️ - never felt so low and insulted - how should i take this experience??

These new Spotify OOH ads are awful

"The new app for people who know exactly how they like to do it"

Like... Really?

Always been a fan of FIRE and reading about it has definitely helped my finances but I can’t help but wonder if the movement is more about lifestyle change than early retirement.

After you achieve FI,you basically have to maintain the lifestyle that got you there.

What if you want to go on a lavish vacation or buy that flatscreen TV? Are you supposed to do away with material goods entirely? I suppose you could keep working for discretionary $ and live off interest but then you’re not retired.

I’ve been with my current company for 3 years. In this time I have only received one raise and triple the responsibilities. I am currently the fleet/safety manager for a fleet of 8 trucks. Also, I am required to do all secretary work, manage the office, dispatch, keep the books, and manage payroll for 12 employees for 34,000 annually. With the workload I currently have I’m not sure what to approach my boss with as a fair salary for the task i complete daily.

How do you manage and track all your investments? E.g., stocks, mutual funds, PPF, PF, gold etc.? Do you use an Excel sheet or some app?

Can you negotiate rent? 😅

Looking for recommendations for a real home office chair—something with actual back support.

Just turned 30, and my back has made it abundantly clear that the POS Target chair that I’ve had since college is no longer acceptable.

I think I hate being a lawyer…what can I do that doesn’t involve staring a screen all day, every day 😞

Anyone else at a firm so rooted in the past that you’re embarrassed explaining it to other attorneys?

Example: We are 10 months into COVID and my firm still hasn’t decided on/implemented a video meeting platform (Zoom, Teams, etc.). So if I want to have a video meeting I have to ask the other party to use their video services. And it’s not at all a funding issue.

Does anyone have any insights on the culture/ workload at Milbank’s project finance team?

Motions
I work in a midsize firm and we have the basic subscription to westlaw, which doesn’t include the ability to see filed briefs, motions, etc without incurring additional costs. I’m wondering if there is a service in the NJ/PA area that gives you access to previously filed motions and briefs? So if I’m drafting a summary judgment I could search the service and find a similar one. If this doesn’t exist.. I think I found the next million dollar idea lol

Looking for a clubhouse invite. If anyone has one, I’d appreciate it.

Just responded to a recruiter who cold emailed about a position with all the prototypical “reasonable annual billables, collegiate culture etc etc” and said:

“I’m not currently interested in any positions that have a billable hour requirement” because that is absolutely my mood going forward.

Anyone have any tips for staying calm while waiting for bar results? I took NY this past July and they’re predicting results mid-December

I am coming to the realization that being a lawyer is not for me. I’m in my third year practicing and also have a MBA (I was in the JD/MBA dual degree program). Does anyone have any suggestions on jobs that are good for former attorneys? Thanks for any advice!

Curious. With the new class of first year associates starting, do you have any interesting thoughts/observations/perspectives on “Gen Z” lawyers?

I am an incoming associate (awaiting bar results). I have already begun working as a law clerk and am already being given plenty of tasks to fill my time, which I’m grateful for. I am also fortunate to be in working in an area of the law that is personally fulfilling to me, so a lot of the work I do doesn’t feel like work. Here’s the thing: I do my absolute best. I give polished, clean work, and I always give my personal best. However, it seems like a lot of the tasks I do always get sent back..

Best Bumble/Hinge Profile Intro- GO

I am sure this is a question with an obvious answer, but does anyone else just feel absolutely trapped in a job they hate because of their student loans? I’m three years out of law school and I still have $160K in student debt despite making aggressive payments. I work in a larger firm (not big law per se, but 250+ attorneys and big for the market). I am pretty unhappy with my job the vast majority of the time, but I feel like I have no options. $160k at 6% and 7% interest cannot be ignored.

Any recommendations on relocating to Hawaii? I am registered for the Hawaii bar but currently based out of Los Angeles and practicing in California as a licensed attorney.

How soon are laterals getting offers after completing interviews?

Partner keeps telling me (2nd year) that I need to get better at using staff like paralegals to reduce client costs.....but doesn't realize that the only paralegal allocated to my group has been with the firm for 30 years and bills 1.5x higher than me.

I see so much room for growth in my firm, especially related to social media, updated technology, marketing strategies, etc. Except, every time I suggest them, I'm pegged as a greedy/pushy millennial. Told by the older partners, "back in our day" or "we tried that years ago" and am quickly dismissed. I referenced other firms initiatives and was told it was clear I was not happy where I am, so I should go... Anyone else struggling with this?

I lateralled into biglaw from a compliance job a couple of months ago because I was given a "too good to be true" opportunity (2 years out of law school), and I have regretted it ever since. Has anyone successfully left biglaw after one year and gone in house or boutique? (Please no nasty comments, we all make mistakes when that much money is involved). I can afford the pay cut thankfully, just worried about the ability to find work.
