I am reflecting on my career and I’ve realized that I really prefer working as a team. There is so much pressure when a brief or opinion only has my name on it. I am a very, very hard worker but the pressure of being the “one” making the decision about the advice to give or the strategy to take without a team to bounce ideas off of is incredibly stressful for me. This is exacerbated because I’m a small firm now. Do you feel this way? Are there practice areas that are more team driven?

Honestly I miss the chit chat with all my friends in a big firm. I am working in a small firm now with a couple of my friends but it’s definitely way more lonely and you really have to trust yourself a lot.

Yes! The pressure that comes from having to trust yourself in a small firm is exhausting.

At a small firm, but the culture is really team driven, I think in large part because we’re in public interest (union-side labor law) and so we feel like we are all in it together, but also I think I just got lucky to work with good people.

Where are my home cooks at?

I'm entertaining guests and picked up a black summer truffle on a whim, trying to decide what to do with it. I've got some rib eyes and will be making mashed potato as well (among other things).

After sous vide and searing the steaks I was going to cook fresh rosemary and thyme in some butter before spooning them over the steaks while resting to heat them up a bit immediately before serving.

I think I've got my truffle 101 now so sounds like (cont)
