Help a paranoid Jr associate out. Been at my firm for two months and my hours are abysmal. Horrible. I'm ashamed to admit but they're under 60. I had COVID beginning of this month. Last month I had 72 hours. They're not firing me, right? Be nice, I'm new to all this.

Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

How do you deal with feeling overwhelmed by all of the absolute bullshit happening in the US? Things lik the spread of misinformation, so many people not being willing to do research or have an educated and open-minded discussion around an important topic, things in the news like the Ahmaud Arbery situation (I know things like this are unfortunately happening all the time), people dying every day, etc. I’m 26 with a solid job (and a fair amount of debt), my health, and so much to be...

I scheduled my PTO for May months ago. I'm now nervously taking it in the middle of a hard audit that was scheduled in March. I feel so anxious as I know my work will be crazy when I'm back. Should I leave audit? I just feel I have too many anxious moments that comprise my mental health.

Sometimes I am envious of other positions unrelated to design. Portfolios are tough, time consuming, and expensive! I’ve invested over half a k in the last two years fixing and redesigning my portfolio website, and that doesn’t include the time I put into it!

I wouldn’t change my profession in a heart beat but odd how it feels like we are the only group of professionals that has to invest money just to present our work.

Law schools in Toronto - I am currently working as a Senior Auditor at EY & finished my CPA modules in less than 12 months & successfully passed CFE, September 2021 (Fasttrack) while working full time. I am really interested in getting into a top law school here in Toronto but unfortunately I had a low CGPA (3.15) from undergrad due to some unfortunate incident, mostly impacted my grades. I strongly feel i can score 170+ on LSAT; question DO I EVEN STAND A CHANCE TO GET INTO ANY LAW SCHOOL

When it’s slow, do mid levels and seniors start hoarding the work? Feel like all our juniors are looking for work, and the upper levels say they’re slow but looking at office pace someone is lying.

People joke about billing for thinking about a matter, but I actually puzzle together a lot of stuff while I’m doing something like taking a shower. That’s a 0.2, no?

I should take 50% salary for 50% of the work

Anyone seeing a slow down yet? I swear I’m getting busier. Haven’t not billed 50+ hours in 6 weeks. Litigation/regulatory work but nothing easy like doc review 😫

I’m a bit afraid of jumping on the “hot market” lateral gravy train and be the first one to be let go when things cool down. Am I overthinking this?

Do folks at Davis Wright Tremaine really only bill 1800 or is it just big law hours?
