I work at a midsize firm in a specialized area of law and am planning on submitting my resignation this week. I work with multiple partners, but also have a relationship with the general counsel/HR person. I've read that it's best to let partners know first and resign on a Friday, but I'm having pretty bad mental health issues and don't think it can wait that long. We're half in-person/half WFH. While I would like to do it face-to-face, I might have to settle for a Zoom call. Any advice?

How is work life balance at Citi Risk Team?

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

I just spoke with a software architect that went back to school to learn software engineering after law school because it was more lucrative and had less hours. He’s worked his way up and has the skills and authority to work 6:30am-10am and gets to work remotely. We discussed that results/outputs is better than billable time like in law and public accounting. Yet, his parents and others would view him as “lazy” but he does his job and makes a fantastic living. Time>Money and Results>Hours

A lot of people here seem to glamorize MANGA positions - good pay, and good WLB. There has to be a catch, right?

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped. Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!

Anyone else is so exhausted and burnt-out after Q1 that you dgaf anymore? Tips on getting over this and being productive again

Looking for remote healthcare opportunities in business ops or project management. Recommendations welcome.

I know this is going to differ greatly but wanted to get an informal survey here of what the hours are like in product management. If you are a PM, can you state your level (early, mid, late in career) and average hours per week worked?

I left bedside nursing and the hospital 2 years ago. I don't feel guilty about it and honestly this pandemic
has convinced me to never return.

Do you always feel tired? How do you have energy for anything with this amount of work.

How to reduce stress? Provide real workable solutions please. Don’t copy paste google stuff!

For immunocompromised folks: Are you back to working at your office? And if so, what precautions are you taking in a world in which it seems most people aren’t concerned about getting COVID and then spreading it to others?

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢

Husband and I have been trying to conceive for a little over a year with no luck. All of our testing came back normal except his morphology was at 6%.

Can anyone please share their experience with these drugs and any side effects? Should we maybe start with natural IUI first?

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Working at a boutique transactiona firm. First year did not receive much guidance and made a few errors, one of which could have been a deal but ended up being fine but overall I worked hard, billed hours above target and showed a willingness to learn. Three main partners in the group. I feel like I may have been written off by the one partner, still get a fair amount of work from another and the third has never really given work but has a rep for doing things alone or using seniors.

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
