DDB just went through a bunch of leadership changes and has come out of it much more focused and inclusive. I was waffling a bit before but I feel really re-energized about what we're doing now.

@Ogilvy1 That’s awesome. Thank you so much! Yeah, my family is Japanese and I spent a lot of time growing up there so it’s always been something in the back of my mind. I interned in Tokyo before and loved it but wasn’t sure what things were truly like for adv people working full-time. Maybe a few years of trying it out would be nice, but it is definitely tough weighing out the pros and cons since WLB and pay are things I really value. Thanks again!

Wondering whether anybody’d be interested in some kind of more purposeful community- i.e., gathering w/fellow lawyers to pursue some specific mental health & well-being goals? We’d provide some counseling/coaching type content, in bite sized chunks, but have regular discussions to connect & encourage one another on applying the content IRL.
