How long do I have to stick it out as a junior before I throw in the towel and admit that law is not for me? When do I find my niche and when does it get better? For context, I’m a second year following a judicial clerkship. I didn’t particularly care for litigation and am now doing transactional work. I don’t know why the paycheck isn’t enough to motivate me. Right now I tell myself I’m in the cocoon phase and if I give up now I will never be a butterfly— but when will it happen??

I'm 4 years into my career, currently I work at one of the largest public advisory firms writing research and taking advisory calls with CIOs/CFOs on strategy around IT Cost Optimization, IT/technology finance, benchmarking, budgeting etc. I enjoy the role but fear not being able to do much with this experience. I fear this due to the fact that I simply talk strategy and roadmaps with no technical experience of having ever done these activities myself.

Tips for 6-month eval? Originally hired at 35K as assistant and was told if I performed well, I could expect to make 50K after a year. After one week, the operations manager resigned and I took over as a trial. Officially am operations manager, but no title (only verbal) and no raise. Owner likes benefits over big pay raises. Thinking about asking for 46K, new cellphone and official title change. I'm expecting some negotiating, which I've never done. 24F, AA Bus Admin, and overall good employee

This might be inappropriate but how often are the rest of you having sex with your significant other or spouse? We have little kids and I work 75 hours a week so I am lucky to hook up twice a week and even that is tough to schedule.

But honestly lately I have been dreaming of a sexless marriage and anything else that will take some of the pressure off me.

Hey all - first year associate here… I’ve met my hours requirement for this year (requirement is 1900 and am currently at around 2050 with billable hours - approx. 2160 with non billable admin hours) and I am just tired. Is it okay to just “disappear” during the holidays (thanksgiving week, week of Christmas) and let partners and senior associates know I am not available? At this point I don’t care about making more money - I just want to sleep, read a good trashy book, and cuddle with my dog.

I’ve contemplated asking for a short leave, but (1) I love the people (most at least) that I work with and I don’t want to push more work on them and (2) I need the $.
