Well go ahead and vent. We are here to listen.

like

1. Vent away
2. If you feel like you have no one to talk to otherwise, it might be a good idea to consider seeing a counselor to talk through things! If in person isn’t your vibe they have lots of services where you can chat, text, or talk on the phone with a professional. Would hate to see you go into a deeper spiral because you feel the need to keep things to yourself.
3. See point 1. This bowl is here for you too ❤️

Oh man, me too. I get it. You will be ok, sure, but first, vent it out as much as you need to.

The part about not enjoying things definitely sounds like textbook depression.

I suspect you’re dealing with the reality that it’s so much harder to make friends and date in the real world, post college. Throw in the isolation of Covid-19, and it’s been exponentially harder. Reach out to people when and where you can, to help counter the isolation.

Don’t lose hope because people your age are getting hitched and knocked up. They’re wasting their 20s being all domesticated and boring. Half will end up divorced and bitter anyway. So what if you skip the starter marriage? Most of them suck.

If you’re a woman worried about a biological clock, pick an age somewhere between 30-40 at which you’d either get pregnant or adopt. Or decide that a childfree life with more money, time, sleep, and travel is your thing.

Very sorry to hear that you’re hung up on someone. I was too, at your age. Looking back, I know we wouldn’t have worked out, but at the time, I still wished it would somehow. Play Liz Phair’s song Extraordinary or stuff of that ilk until this person’s pedestal melts a bit and you remember that you kick ass in your own way. (But do consider some counseling and/or medication, too. No one should have to go through life on willpower alone.)

If you're on this bowl guessing you're with a firm that has assistance programs available. Please reach out and talk to them about what type of help they can hook you up with. You don't have to be miserable and there is absolutely no shame in asking for help with depression-if that is indeed what you are suffering from. I wish you the best of luck.

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms. But now that I’m more senior and my friends are making partner, it sounds like it’s a lot more common than I thought and happens at firms where I wouldn’t expect it. Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?
