I can't deal anymore with OPC's picking every single fight during a case. There does not seem to be any OPC anymore willing to compromise at all to get the case done. I feel like it is always me that is bending. It's defeating, and I already feel defeated everyday in ID. It's also exhausting to fight for every little thing all the time. Can anyone give me some advice on how to deal with it? I just don't seem to care anymore and it's affecting my focus.

Trick is to care…. but not to care too damn much. I’m guilty of putting too much time, stress , and energy into the grind. So is every lawyer. But work should not be your life. You should have a life. There are those who love you no matter what outcome you have on your cases. Stay frosty. Find peace, my friend.

Same. You are not alone. I don't hate being a laywer, or the work I do. But I hate that every morning its some loser OPC picking another fight over nothing. I often worry I'm not built for this for that reason. I have checked out too and try not to let it get a rise out of me anymore.

You have to figure out when not to fight about things. Sometimes, it doesn't matter.

Hi there. Myself and a photographer are joining forces to build a creative “agency”. We’re having some trouble figuring out how to give pricing and packages in a way that helps clients understand what they’re getting on design/photography side and how we came to our estimate. We don’t want to give much leeway for them to pick and choose what tasks or functions we can “do without” if there is a need to negotiate but also want to remain transparent about the breakdown of cost. Advice appreciated!

Accenture India Employees - (1) How much does job location matter in getting good projects for a fresher(ASE- Lvl 12) ?

I am currently in Entry Level Pool-Bangalore and will be 'Soft Locked' to Bench in a month's time. I wish to change my job location to either Indore in MP(top priority) or to Pune(MH).

(2) Should I wait till I get a project in Bangalore and then change location only if WFH gets over (if that is possible) or change it right now ?
(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏
