I have a performance review coming up, and I'm dreading it. My accomplishments feel overshadowed by the one project that went sideways. How do I frame things in a positive light?

Meet the project that went sideways head on and address it with lessons learned from it, ideally with accomplishments that you can demonstrate owed some to those lessons.

Also - and maybe this is a message for your boss rather than you - a performance review should not be a surprise, or torture or something unpleasant. It should be used as a platform to confirm what has already been discussed in 1:1s and intermediate reviews and talk about the future - what needs to stop, start and continue for you in the next month/quarter/year.

After 4 years I want to leave law because of my adhd! I have been to 4 different firms and at each place I feel like I have been “found out”. At every place at least one attorney catches me about my attention to detail. I am so down on myself now. I can’t bring myself to care about small details that I know don’t actually matter. Sitting at a desk all day in word documents is the ultimate form of torture to me. My strengths are talking to people. I am super outgoing. Looking for a new career
