I started a new job and it is so bad that I’m doing my best to leave ASAP and it hasn’t even been two months. The team is chronically understaffed because the client won’t pay for the correct scope, the team has some incredibly toxic people on it, and it’s just the most stressful work environment I’ve ever been in. My anxiety is so bad that it’s starting to affect me physically. Idk how much longer I can do this.

Junior corp associate at a V50 firm in NY. Just received offer a few days ago in Charlotte, a city I really want to live. However, the role is for cap mkts /asset securitization and esoteric assets, e.g., auto loans, railroad, etc. I value having some work life balance. I heard the hours in asset securitization / esoteric assets can be awful. The work is very complex / niche. Does this sound about right? I’m tempted to continue search in CLT even though this a top tier firm. Any thoughts? Thx!

6th year associate at a small 6 attorney PI/med-mal firm in the Northeast OH. Settled about $1.4M total on the year, fees are about 5x my total compensation. Largely 1-manned these cases, use very little overhead beyond my assistant who I share with a partner. Feeling self-conscious, am I doing alright here??

Been in house for about a year. I just found out that a new hire who has 1-2 less years of experience than me (but will have the same role/title as me) received a compensation package significantly higher than me, mostly due to the market dynamics with law firm associates’ compensation being ratcheted up the past year. Can I ask for an equitable raise mid year? And if so, how? I got rave reviews but an immaterial pay bump (3%) at year end in December.

I recently joined a film production company as a production assistant with all these huge expectations. I have to say, all that glitters is not gold. I am only assigned tasks that no one else wants to do, but at least I'm learning a lot. What tips would you give those who are entirely new to the film industry and want to make the most of it?

Hi all. I just applied to a ''Strategic Partner Lead, News, Large Partner Solutions'' at Google (Canada). I was relatively confident as I think my background is pretty much a perfect fit, but I should have asked for a referral first. Is it too late to get a referral if I already applied? Is a referral pretty much a sine qua non condition to get an interview?
Thanks!

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

I got relieving letter from EY. Will I get experience letter also or relieving letter itself is experience letter?

Seeking benefit clarification - US Health Indursnce says “Employee cover starts frm $17.65 PCM w/ $400 per month contribution by employer”. What does this mean? Worried about mental health costs/srvcs

I had a day today where my mind was not functioning well. Stupid mistakes, lots of back and forth, etc. I got kicked off and account once for having a day like this, and I am sad and frustrated. (1/2)

Dad had to get emergency open heart surgery over the weekend. Now me and my family are preparing to help him recover and determine what those next steps are.

While all that is happening, we’re working on a huge initiative at the agency and our client has been super anxious about it. That anxiety is coming down stream so I’m trying to do my best as the PM to alleviate the team’s concerns.

And today, I found out I got a raise.

It’s too much going on the last few days.

Therapy’s too expensive, I’ve been sleeping way too much again (12 hours +) and still waking up tired while having no appetite to the point I’m losing too much weight. I know this isn’t right but I don’t know how to pick myself up.

How do you stop putting yourself down? I don’t mean to do it and it just comes out of my mouth and then I feel SO awk after.

Any tips on managing anxiety? It’s kind of snowballed since becoming a parent and I need to get a handle on it

Fake smiles. Fake smiles. Fake smiles.

Job technically allows for WFH - take about one a month because of debillitating anxiety and depression flare ups. I actually work too - I just can’t be around people.

Has anyone defined themselves by their passion for this industry so much so, that if they thought about doing something else they’d have no idea who they are anymore?

Does that even make sense?

Has anyone tried SAD lights/ light boxes for SAD? Do you find them effective?

My parents got incredibly angry and threatened to “end up in the hospital” and “disown” me after I told them I want to marry my partner, who comes from a different religion. My partner is amazing and I can’t imagine loving anyone this deeply, and feeling so safe with them. But I also love my parents and they’ve done so much for me. I don’t know how to cope with this.

Have any of you had to go through multiple different therapists and found one that you enjoy meeting with consistently? Hating myself rn but don’t want to talk to the one therapist i have met with 3x and not sure if the search is even that worth it ultimately. For those that couldn’t find a good match for a therapist - are there other methods of therapy you’ve tried or would recommend?
