For those that accepted a counter to stay at their current firm after giving notice, any positive stories? In your experience, did your current firm treat you any different when you chose to stay? How did firm who you signed the offer letter react?

No personal experience. But I have seen people leaving and coming back after a few months as though nothing happened! They were fine and worked for a few more years. I think it depends on what terms you are with the employer at that point. If they like your job, they may budge in for your demand to risk not losing you.

I’ve seen people come back and it be perfectly fine. But there are also a lot of stories of people taking advantage of this by either going back with more demands or leaving to go somewhere else shortly after.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.

Hi! New attorney here. Licensed in January 2021.

I have a seriously hard time working all day. I went straight through, so part of it is probably just that I've never worked in an office before, but I have the hardest time getting in all my hours. Anyone else deal with that fatigue? Or figured out how to conquer it?

I wish I could just work all day but it's not coming naturally to me. I walk, I take breaks.... but it's hard
