Been in Boston for almost 2 years now. I was pulling long hours for the first 6 months on boarding and haven’t made many pre-Covid friends. My lack of a social circle here makes me want to go back to nyc. Any recommendations for someone who basically moved right before a pandemic and hasn’t made any friends yet?

I was working with a recruiter to relocate to another market before covid and was recently stealthed. Should I share this information with my recruiter?

Fox Rothschild, litigation, Delaware, mid level

Considering a move from a larger BigLaw firm to Fox Rothschild, primarily to work on matters I’m more interested in, but hopefully to also have a slightly better work life balance. I know it would be a pay cut though, and their various covid cuts have me concerned as well.

Any insight from current or former associates? What is firm culture like? Is work life balance decent enough to justify a lower salary?

Anybody tried Ginger or therapy through texting? Would love to know your thoughts. I can see it being neat since I tend to express my feelings and thoughts better in writing. I also tend to downplay how I really feel in person with a friend but less so when I’m texting them my feelings. But worried about the quality of therapists and my words actually being saved in my files, amongst other things.

Checked into a hotel room and it reeks of cigar smoke. I told myself I was too tired to go down and change rooms (it’s midnight), but now I’m here lying awake wondering if it’s dangerous for baby. I’m 11 weeks. Overreacting?

Folks,
Have been married for 15 years and have a kid of 11 years. My spouse is falsely accusing me of domestic abuse and trying to get separated. We have had incompatibility even before marriage on various issues but it was an arranged marriage, we tried to work it out and stay together. Her side is asking her to move on. She has taken my kids passport and kept it with her. What are the options I have to defend myself?

Working up the courage to break up with my guy. We’ve sort of drifted, no longer affectionate or anything. But still, I’m terrified of hurting him. First time doing this. Any advice?

What's your go-to work music? Or do you work better in complete silence? I can't work in silence without my brain getting loud, so I listen to house music or jazz while I work. My sister (who also has ADHD) can't get anything done unless it's dead silent. Just wondering what works for others
