Have you ever felt physical discomfort or pain from work-induced stress and anxiety?

Sitting down all day and being so stressed is literally making my lower abdomen hurt and muscles in the pelvic area tense. What is your "stress" pain?

Yes. And please find time to exercise…the more intense the better. This will help.

This. Even a 20 min brisk walk on a treadmill helps. Now that gyms are reopening (your area pending) maybe consider getting a membership. For me, going someplace and being around people before the day also helps take my mind off of work.

I get serious tension on my pelvic floor. Shit’s weird. Also the usual lumbar pain from sitting, etc

If you work from home, try a zero-g chair. Also try hot baths and orgasms.

I used to get terrible abdominal pains. And stress messed with IBS. Didn’t realize it was all mostly stress induced until I switched firms and a lot of the symptoms went away.

Yes and now I'm on medical leave...

Hi guys, urgent suggestion regarding feeling overwhelmed at work

I don't know why but lately since the second wave of the pandemic has started, I have been feeling very overwhelmed at work. My manager is mostly a supportive and smart person but due to recent changes in teams his workload has also increased a bit.

I don't know if its work or just the pandemic but sometimes even looking at emails feels dreadful.

I recently joined company A on an H1b. Because of the immigration team's mistakes, we had to re-file and it took almost 4months for me to join from the date of the offer. As this was getting dragged on, I interviewed at two companies (let's call them Company B and C). After I started at company A, I received offers from both of them with 30% more TC. If I accept one of these offers, that H1b transfer will take another 2months. Will resigning from A burn the bridges? How should I handle this?

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms. But now that I’m more senior and my friends are making partner, it sounds like it’s a lot more common than I thought and happens at firms where I wouldn’t expect it. Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?

Waiting on raise/bonus info but can’t help but wonder if I could be making $100k more at a larger firm and working similar hours. I put a premium on the people I work with and have gotten a good rhythm here as well as built up a good rep so far. For reference I have billed avg. 180-200 hrs a month. Any insights?
