It took some effort from my girlfriend since like OP said there’s a bunch of people trying and the website keeps on crashing, but here’s how she was able to succeed:

“Call the governors office, stay on hold until you get a live person, and then ask to speak to someone at Unemployment. They will transfer you to a live person who if you say you can’t get thru and the website keeps crashing, will take your name and number. And call you back. It took 2 days but they did call me!”

They called back and helped you file?

Wife did when her company went under. It’s pretty easy and straightforward.

Yup, I’ve filed before, I just want to know how and if it’s different right now based on the surge of claims.

You also have to decide whether or not to have taxes taken out. I opted to have them taken out and now somewhat regretting that.

You likely need all the money you can get now and can pay the taxes you owe in April 2021 when we hopefully are all doing better

This is the most basic question, so yep, I’m asking you to take it easy on me when you reply. I have been practicing for about 5 years total. I have been in civil practice for 2 years. These 2 years have been the most demoralizing, unfulfilling 2 years of my life. I have been giving myself pep talks to find the “positive” spin on it but firm life isn’t for me. I know networking is key but do you have some thoughts/suggestions on how to make an exit...crying at therapy is becoming too much.

Have virtual interviews tomorrow and Friday (both with same company) - I know 150% if I got an offer, I would not accept.

Cancel tomorrow and Friday interviews or no cancel and potentially get an offer and decline?
