Very happy.

Money and autonomy. The only friends I have that make more work at hedge funds or a few at top tier IB’s. But I don’t have to go into an office or answer to anyone internal. Work whenever I want.

Well...it depends upon whether you want to be despised as a lawyer or denigrated as a salesperson.

My passion cannot feed my family but I've been burned out so much after years in Tax. 😞

Looking for tips from seniors. I'm at A1 level at a litigation firm, stepping out of the deer-in-headlights phase. With the Partners assigning work to me in teams of 2-3, there's potential for growth. But with the sheer amount and depth of work on each case it's challenging to take on a more "adult" role. I often find myself in a more assistive role, either by my choice or the Partners'.
How can I accelerate my progress? What are Partners' and Seniors' expectations from year one associates?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
