Honest take: I'm on holiday now and thinking about getting back to work turns my stomach upside down. I'm looking for another job, but I'm worried that it will show that I'm not happy with my current job. What do you think I should tell to not make it look bad?

What’s wrong with saying you’re not happy but in different words? Not being challenged or burnt out.. etc

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.
