Currently working as a lateral associate in a mid size firm and not getting enough work (days go without it) to make the most billables. Worried that it will poorly reflect on my performance. Feeling the need to shift to a new place where there is good quality work and mentorship. What to do?

Have you spoken to someone about it and asked for more work? The solution might already be there waiting to be found.

Definitely make sure your supervisor knows you've got some free time you're happy to fill. If they don't have it for you, then yes moving on is probably the best career move. Another option is to look into contract work on the side if your employment terms allow for it. Great way to network.

Thank you HR1 and SA1 for your inputs! Have spoken to the supervisor multiple times, and still there isn’t much work coming my way. Very worried and anxious on what lies ahead

It doesn't hurt to start applying and see what happens

Curious to know what other avenues people have taken in our industry to make more money. Currently getting OT which is nice since most places don’t offer that benefit but still doesn’t feel like it’s worth the long nights when the paycheck comes in.

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values.
