I want to switch careers, I’ve been coding when I get some free time. Thinking about quitting due to long hours and self studying/ start a coding boot camp. Would you do the same?

Why dont you apply for a sabbatical?

Take advantage of the free udemy

I know it’ll be hard OP, but I urge you to stay at Deloitte and take your boot camps and extra studies in the evenings until you find the right role to jump to. Might as well get your skills up while receding a paycheck, until you’re experienced enough to pivot. No need to give D your all; cut out early or block time on your calendar to learn what you want to learn. There’s light at the end of the tunnel! Good luck

In a tiny (only $52,000 in damages) litigation matter that should have been a simple trial on a simple issue (breach of contract), OC has filed 9 unsupportable motions, 7 of which had prayers for fees, including one claiming an ethics violation by me. All overruled. OC's latest brief in opposition to our motion to compel is a 13-page, babbling, word-salad mess with 126 pages of exhibits. It does not address our arguments and any 1L could have written a better brief. Judge should punish her!
