Damn, waiting by your email on a weekend is next-level bad. Don’t do that.

If you are anticipating work, fine, but have fun until said work comes in (if at all). Then respond and say you’ll get to it in X hours.

No one is going to die without your immediate work on a weekend, or ever for that matter.

Go have fun! You’ll be more productive later if you let your brain relax and focus on something else now.

Promised work to be done this morning but partied too hard and got 2 “so is this coming? ETA?” Emails

I disagree sometimes re 11:59 being a problem. Sometimes I get assignments sent to me with plenty of time to spare….because they really gave bare minimum effort.

I did something fun last night and felt serious guilt this morning for not being productive....the struggle is real.

Stay strong we are here for moral support

Dude it’s Saturday

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

Looking for tips on short term and long term strategy.
