Every time I ask about a potential agency to move to the only warning i get is 'Oh i heard its a sweatshop' but so far all agencies I've been to have always been sweatshops?? So which agencies are actually not a sweatshop?

They’ll take however much you can/will give them. It’s really important when you start anywhere new to be firm with your boundaries from the get go because once they know how far they can push you, that’ll be your baseline.

This ^ is the best advice - Dont give too much from the beginning so IF at some point you are needed, they will see you as a life saver. Versus when people always bend over, there's no respect or boundaries. And when you then try to set them up, its too late

Please name the ones that you’ve heard so we can avoid them.

Maybe all of them are — even the small agencies.

In my experience, agencies in smaller markets outside Toronto like Vancouver and Calgary you get more of a work/life balance. I rarely if never stayed past 5PM. Or smaller boutique shops of 20 people or less. Be mindful you’ll most likely have to take a pay cut.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.
