Currently on parental leave and planning on quitting my job once I go back… is it better to somehow call my managing partner and quit over the phone before I plan on coming back from leave or go back for like a week or so and give notice then? I feel like a jerk either way for some reason…

I’m thinking about leaving my government job for a matrimonial law firm. I had a baby in January & my husband’s job was hit particularly hard by the pandemic (100% commission based & I was already earning more than him). I am enticed by the compensation & have been unhappy with certain aspects of my govt job lately. But I’m also nervous about billables & firm life (I was a matrimonial lawyer 5+ years ago). Mostly I want to provide for my baby girl & not be stressed financially. Advice? Thoughts?

Seeking unbiased advice from those who’ve had similar-ish experience:

I’m due early October. Husband will be finishing his phd program requiring a move to the east coast (from the Midwest) over the summer.

Dilemma is by the time we’re packing up and moving, I’ll be teetering into 3rd trimester. I worry about the stress and anxiety of the move, no family out there, etc.

I’ve started to float the idea of me staying back until after baby is born then joining him after.

What would you do?

Confession...I hate reading. Always have since I was a kid. My eyes feel heavy and I get instantly bored / feel like I’m going to fall asleep no matter what time of day it is or where I am. I WANT to like to read bc I know it will improve my professional / personal life. Anyone else struggle with this and have tips or suggestions? I listen to audibles and watch the news, but at the end of the day I just need to train myself to like reading. Thanks in advance!

I work at Google Cloud in solutions engineering (I help develop quantitative business cases with sales teams for customers). My cash base + bonus is $220k (going to ignore equity). I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.

Just feel like I’m throwing everything I’ve worked so hard for away because I don’t have the energy to even try anymore. Won’t even make my hours this year. Only a matter of time before they ask me to leave. When did I become this person?

Has anyone quit a job and taken a couple months off before searching for a new role? I'm a mid-level litigation associate and really considering just walking away for a couple months. The lateral market is good where I am, but having a resume gap worries me.

I’ve really struggled recently with motivation. While I’ve been working out weekly (because of my trainer), I really struggle with getting myself to start work when I’m supposed to along with other things I want to do (I.e. read for pleasure). I enjoy my job & love the people I work with, but I always find myself scrolling on my phone during & after work. Then at night, I tell myself I’m gonna have a productive day tomorrow but end up repeating the same things. Idk how to turn this around.

The partner at the end of the test run suggested me to go in office to do the webinar because of “all the interruptions at home”. I have never got into the office since the

How long should you be at your firm before getting pregnant? I’m a 6th year associate at a mid size firm on LI. I got a job offer when we were already trying to get pregnant. Wondering if we should hold off for a while.

Need your insight. What do you do if you were offered a job, signed the offer letter and was ready to start the job. You resigned from ur current job, gave up other offers and RE-arranged ur whole life in anticipation of the new job. Then on the eve of ur first day, they rescind the offer. The new firm simply says it is was based on factors? No further explanation. What do you do? What can you do?
