How do I approach going back to an old job? I still have contacts and they are interested in having me again. I want to get the right comp and bonuses and not burn the bridge.

Sounds like you’ve already approached it.

Why did you leave the first time? What makes you think that won’t be a reason in the future as well?

Just be clear about what it would take to come back and make sure they fixed the source of your problem.

Who did you reach out too / how’d you know they were open to you coming back?

Any attorneys in the Bay Area practicing just in estate planning (not litigation), can you give your take on whether you would get enough business to do only planning? I'm currently doing family law and I want to start moving away from litigation. For family law there really isn't a non litigation role that produces enough business (i.e. mediation). I do okay, but definitely have to take on more litigation than I prefer. I was thinking estate planning might be a good addition to the mix.

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.
