Do you eat at your desk or actually take a lunch break?

I go to the gym over lunch hour and then eat at my desk while working.

How long do you spend doing that?! Going to the gym, working out, showering, getting dressed, going back to work, getting food - seems like that's easily 90 min or so?

I'll pretty much always take a lunch break, either with colleagues or alone when I'm WFH. The only times I don't is when I'm super busy or when no one's in the office and I eat at my desk.

Lately I’ve been eating at my desk, had some video and past meetings to listen in on. Much prefer to take an actual break, but sometimes pulling myself back to work is rough! I get an hour, which 30 minutes always seems too short and an hour just a little too long.

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?
