I had a divorce mediation last week. The client wasn’t thrilled with the results (is anyone after mediation?) but we left with the two things she wanted: the house and her pension. She thanked me. My office sent the bill a few days later, and client wrote my boss a very long, angry email claiming I gave her incompetent representation. My boss backed me 100%, but I haven’t been practicing very long, so it really stung. Anyone have advice on dealing with self doubt in these situations?

I actually enjoy it and very savvy in the federal government world and consulting. Anyone know where i could start or be connected into doing this?

Do others feel lonely in their roles? I moved in-house from a firm a few months ago, and while I recognize that the virtual nature of the work is a huge factor (I haven’t yet met my coworkers, so it’s harder to make friends), I also am in a small legal department where everyone is far more senior than me, so I don’t have any camaraderie. I’m glad to not only be working with lawyers (like at my firm), but I do miss the ease of having peers with whom I could easily make friends and chat.

Not intending this as a brag or anything - just genuinely seeking advice. I will be promoted soon (unusually early in my tenure at company), with corresponding pay bump (though unclear what the "norm" or "baseline" is for this level). Wondering whether I should even try negotiating for anything more now (worried that'd make me look ungrateful and entitled) or just accept what's given to me given the unusual circumstance and maybe reopen comp discussion once I've settled into the role? TIA!

Just curious, for others who transitioned in house from a firm, when did you fully realize/appreciate the benefits of your transition? I moved about six months ago and it’s taken some time to adjust, but I think I’m finally getting there. I have to laugh at how “busy” everyone claims to be all the time, clearly no where near law firm levels of busy. Just wondering what the light bulb moment was for others to think “yup, this is what I’d always been looking for.”
