Hi ladies - I have only done plaintiffs personal injury my entire (3 year) career. I like helping people, but I’m miserable. I don’t see things getting better when I look at the partners’ lives where I work. I don’t want to emulate their life and if I don’t see the top of my company as a place I’m inspired to strive for, then I feel I have to leave. Curious if there’s anything else out there and how I go about looking for it. (Continued below)

Audit manager here checking in how is everyone doing? I feel like there is such high expectation from everyone these days. Client services 40/45/55 hours and all these nonsensical cluster activities, trainings and cohorts on the top of that. I don’t think I can handle this anymore. When I speak up about it, I am told my leadership that everyone is doing it, so you have to do it to keep up with the competition. I seriously just don’t want to give more than 40 hours of my time to this firm.

Question about resumes - at what point, if ever, is it okay for your resume to be longer than one page? I recently updated my resume and it’s now about a page and a quarter. There’s nothing I want to cut, though I could cut some stuff if appropriate. For context, I’ve been in the workforce for about 15 years. Thanks all!

Do any women feel that there is a pattern with balancing the egos and emotional reactions of the males they work with? I am a female senior associate on a partner track at a small firm (25 or less lawyers) and I’m very happy here. I’m the only female in my practice group and it seems like the men (particularly those more at-my-level) constantly have ego issues and problems with their toes being stepped on...

Can anyone relate to working from home and having children at home 24/7 due to mandatory virtual schooling? It seems as if my male colleagues do not understand why I can’t meet the billable hours each month. I haven’t had a paralegal or any admin assistance in 7 months. And one response I received today was “Can’t you just lock them out of your office.” No I can’t. And the firm is making 7k per month revenue off of me but wanting the double my billing.

I was just given a special parking spot and told I could move to the (recently vacant) nicer, larger office with a view of downtown. And I was given permission to buy new furniture for my new office. I feel so special! Now, anybody have suggestions on choosing good quality office furniture and how to figure out best layout for the space? I’ve always just made it work cramped in a tiny office, with old cardboard-quality furniture, and stacks of paper and books everywhere.

29 - single since 3L year. After spending a few years working on myself, I’m re-committing to dating. But ppl with “normal” jobs have apparently decided to only do 1st dates on weeknights? Bc weekends sacrifice their “quality” time? I work til 11 every night and would literally have to find coverage/take time off to pull off a weeknight date. How are single folks working big law hours making time? Every other associate in my group is married to ppl they met pre-work.
