Same here OP! I couldn't sleep at night. Woke up stressed and just sobbing for some reason. Finally went back to sleep after a couple of hours.

But why worried about promotion? That already happened.

OP Realx and nioy the time off.. you will have enough time to think about your promotion during working days.. this is a PTO time to enjoy with family or friends.. if you are married and have kid, just look at his / her face and see the excitement he / she have for spending time with you

^Nothing wrong with being single. Hey!

First get off fishbowl. Then breathe. Then do something fun.

I am currently at a firm and received an in-house offer. Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).
