Do you ever feel like being efficient at your job just gets you penalized with everyone else’s tasks? How do you say no? While it is nice to be viewed as dependable, it’s discouraging to be viewed as a utility machine rather than a skilled professional partner.

100%. And you don't say no. You can't or you then become the problem. The job is simply unsung. It's a vicious circle of do it, do more of it, pick up for your colleagues and hope for better compensation at the end of the day. Facts.

You don’t say no, but you do have to manage priorities and expectations and they’ll naturally know you’re busy

Coming up on one full year at an ID firm. Feeling overwhelmed with my experience so far. I’ve received minimal training/feedback unless it was on something I messed up. It feels like the expectations don’t align with my level of experience. I have a case load of 45-55 with very little oversight or involvement from partners. Turnover is extremely high, as I’m the second longest tenured associate in the office. Looking for some guidance on whether this is the norm or not. Compensation is low 80’s.
