Every Sunday night I feel anxious, irritable, and exhausted just thinking about work. I keep telling myself it’s normal, but it doesn’t feel healthy. At what point is dread a warning sign instead of just ‘part of adulthood’?

This is not normal if you are consistently feeling this way. Are there reasons, or something recent that has happened? Life is too short to live this way. Think about what the causes might be, and what can you change?

Dread when it starts turning into health related issues is when you should call it quits

If you're feeling like that on a consistent basis something is definitely wrong. And it's not just part of being an adult, most people wouldn't be experiencing that kind of dread. Perhaps it's time to get serious about finding another job if the position you've got is grinding at you to that extent.

It's not normal, please seek advice from a trusted professional at work and or leadership. Please 🙏 don't wait and if you have a EAP employee assistance program call them up usually free for what you’re going through. Please just don't hold it in and don't get to a point you react and blow up at someone. You deserve better for sure please take care of yourself. You come first remeber take care of you!

That’s exactly how I felt every Sunday for the last six months of 2025. That’s when I realized I was extremely burned out. Finding a new job and leaving in January was the best decision I ever made. It sounds like it might be time for you to start looking, too.

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!

If a partner asked you to do non-client related/may help later work, how long is too long to get back to them? Came to big law as a second year from a smaller firm (three years out). First year (who should be a second year) is emailing me trying to figure out where are things with a federal notice summary (I allowed them to help). Can I tell the first year to chill? I feel like if the partner needed it ASAP, they would have said so. I turned in the summary less than 72hrs later. Nbd/big deal?

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?
