I once traveled with a friend who complained nonstop—the food was weird, the walking was too much, the hotel towels weren’t fluffy enough. By day three, I was mentally planning my escape. I tried suggesting we split up for part of the day, but they insisted on sticking together, which made it even worse. Now, I set expectations before a trip—how we’ll balance plans, downtime, and spending. Have you ever been stuck with a bad travel buddy? Did you find a way to salvage the trip, or did it completely ruin the experience?

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang). One concern for me is the potential of a recession in late 22 into 23 with the fed rate hikes. My fear is if that happens, me being on the chopping block as new in house counsel. If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles? Any experiences to share?
