Any other first year associates feel like their firms don’t really appreciate how much COVID/WFH has stunted their development? I’ve been working at a biglaw firm for 5 months and don’t feel at all like a part of the team, and am extremely stressed out by the isolation of WFH most days. I’m not really sure that anyone at the firm realizes this is happening.

I put in my two weeks a while ago and this Friday is my last day. No one has reached out to me about coordinating equipment return (I’m remote rn) or off boarding me. I’ve literally received no communication after sending my manager my notice. We had a chat and he wished me well but didn’t initiate anything. My HRBP is no where to be seen either - I think they quit as well. What do I do and is there any chance I can keep my work phone - it’s better than my personal

Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is well.

I am looking for a part time role for additional income source. I currently work in Category Management team of a Packed Food Company in Mumbai, India.

Can you guys suggest where can I find reliable part time roles?

Thanks,
