Either crazy busy or extremely slow.

Feels like it’s been crazy busy more often than not.

I don’t really understand why people don’t set boundaries. They can give you as much work as they want and you have every right to spend your time transitioning and only work 9-5. If people are upset by that and it “burns bridges” then they’re unreasonable and you don’t want to work for them anyways...

Oh agreed but in the context of your last 2 weeks at the firm it’s perfectly appropriate to say you don’t have the capacity to finish things

I remember working until 3am one night to meet a deadline in my last two week period. I had never worked that late before in my 1.5 years at the firm. As bad as it was, I was so happy with the fact that I was leaving that this didn’t even bother me

You'll either be busy trying to wrap up stuff, or you won't be busy because people might move your work to others in the firm. For me, it was definitely busy because all of my managers asked me about my work during those last 2 weeks. You should have enough time to get it all done, but it won't be as much of a walk in the park as you might expect.
