Creative Director

I would say that it's not my business what their aim is. I only share what I am comfortable sharing, and I don't waste any time trying to guess what their motive might be. I don't care about my relationships with my coworkers near enough to be thinking that hard haha.

this person does a good job at getting info out of you though in a very smooth and “caring” way

I'm not sure there's any way to tell. Some people are honestly empathetic, and some are just looking for entertainment. I tend not to drag a lot of my personal stuff into work anyway, so I never have to worry about anyone's motivations.

Yea unfortunately it is a work matter but the creative director is not directly involved in the issue

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

I have been overworked and overwhelmed at my current job for quite a while. This is my first position out of law school, small firm with large caseload, and in my second year of practice. I often think I should look for another opportunity elsewhere but I don't know that any other firms would give me the potential for growth and experience that I am getting here. What are other 2nd year associates doing at other firms? Trying to gauge if I really am getting more opportunities here
