I’m a junior partner (last line of defense on my deals) who is stretched thin across multiple matters with associates who still need a lot of hand holding (not their fault, most are retools in my group / havent done my type of work before so I’m still working on training them). Given how stretched I am I’m been starting to make mistakes even never made before (even some things my clients noticed). Any advice on what I can do to stop making mistakes? getting worried I can’t handle being partner

There is a training opportunity here, and a chance to build your team. Be honest with your associates about the issue; enlist them all in the solution ie making checklists and supporting your decision-making. You can do this!

I would pull on your past experiences and see if you can pull someone a bit more experienced than the greener associates on your team. Training is a lot of work.

I dated my ex for about 4 years and before we broke up we had moved in together. We lived together for about 6 months before breaking up. I kept the apartment and she moved out. Is this something I should tell my current girlfriend without it coming up naturally? She has told me she doesn’t care about what happened in my past relationships and that she is happy to talk about them but that we don’t need to. I’m just not sure if I should tell her about it, or wait for it to come up in conversation
