Has COVID affected your friendship (especially if you are an introvert)? I’m kind of an extreme introvert and has completely isolated myself from my core group of friends. Dynamics of our friendship has completely shifted in the last three month and I feel like I’m on the outskirts looking in which really sucks. Not sure what I’m trying to achieve with this post but I wanted to get this off my chest cause I’m feeling a bit down. Also making amends that I also have to put in the effort...

I’ve accepted a new offer scheduled to start beginning of April. With the Coronavirus I’m nervous about providing notice and the start date being pushed back. I’m currently in NYC WFH until who knows?

I want to leverage my existing T&E big law experience to one day work for midlaw as a partner, making $300k-$500k, while billing 1500-1700, relying on associates, and focusing on biz dev/writing the remainder of the time. I’d like some degree of separation between work and life, with evenings and weekends mostly reserved for my family.

Is it possible to aim for a setup like this, and if so how should I work towards this goal while in big law and what types of smaller firms should I aim for?

My gf has a particular gift. To always choose the better dish when we're out. So we decided to choose for each other. And, not surprising, the dish i chose for her was still better. Should we break up?

4 year-old pinches kids ears to the point of bleeding/laughs when they cry. We have tried everything; time out, safe space, replacement behaviors, telling him to touch gentle. At my wits end!!!

8 years together, one married. In our 30’s.

I find my husband physically attractive but am not passionate about him or do not feel “pulled” towards him. Is this normal?

Has Covid changed your retirement plans? What is your targeted retirement age?

Richard Edelman came out quickly at the start of Covid-19 with a promise that Edelman would not be letting people go. Surprised he made that promise so early when business is shifting so quickly.

Yet another 2-page COVID19 update that could have simply been a one-line email saying “Hi there - we do not know any better this time than what we knew the last time we sent this update. Hence, no update. Keep doing what your are doing.”

On my way to my third session with my new therapist. I think after this one is when I’ll decide if I’m going to move forward with her.

Anyone else have trouble finding the right fit?

Honestly over family being on my back about marriage and my age being an issue now. I'm trying to look on my own but obviously don't want to settle for anyone. Sooo here goes: 26F Midwest, anyone looking or know someone looking. Also how do the rest of you deal with this pressure from family?

I’ve been trying to recruit attorneys to join our team at my firm but it’s been incredibly difficult to do so, even for friends of mine who I know are working at firms which are really terrible. It seemed a lot easier to get people before Covid hit as people changed firms all the time but now it seems much more difficult.

Has anybody had this same experience? Does anybody know the cause? Finally, does anybody have any helpful tips?

Queer 🐠 @ DU this week?

Hi all! What health benefits does your company offer that you really like/appreciate/want but don’t have? I’m curious what other companies offer to their lgbtq+ employees; My company says we are the best, but it feels like their standard of “the best” hasn’t changed since 2000…. I’d like to encourage them to update some of their policies and know it will be helpful to bring them some comparative examples. Thanks! (Eg, trans benefits? access to a concierge service? Surrogacy support etc)
