I figured that with technology, the process of looking for jobs would get easier, but with AI interviews and tests, I find the process colder and more demoralizing. I've spent countless hours recording one-way video responses into my laptop, talking to an empty screen, and receiving no feedback whatsoever. I have no idea if I’m being judged on content, attitude, lighting, or if I’m blinking too much. I miss the days of real conversations, where you could build some sort of rapport and show your personality. How do you stay motivated and human in this process, where it feels like you're being filtered like an algorithm?

For associates who have lateraled in the last 6 months or so, what made you decide to move? Has your situation improved since moving?

For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.
