Of course. I was out for 2 weeks 6 months after starting. I’m an adult with kids and there’s zero chance I would miss a summer trip with my family.
Thanks 😊
Depends on the firm and your group but generally yes. I took a week off about 5 months after lateraling as a 4th year because my wife, a 6th year also in BigLaw, was deeply burned out and needed a vacation. I socialized the idea with some senior associates first who were very supportive so I went ahead and did it. No one seemed to bat an eye and I didn’t see any adverse consequences from it.
Certainly, just make sure your hours are on track and that you balance any work you’d be leaving for the week with the rest of the team.
