How does someone fall in love with a firm they don't work at? Genuinely curious.

This is so sus. WSGR is notoriously nasty and they live up to their reputation every time I deal with them.

WSGR has gotten a huge amount of flack — and for good reason. The fact that you’re “in love” with a firm you don’t even know is completely bizarre, and it makes me think you’re a little delusional.

I apologize for my enthusiastic word choice, I had attended one of their conferences and felt largely positive about the firm. I’ve had positive interactions with people there and just find their work to be interesting. Thank you

Yeah you go to WSGR and you’ll be lid off within a year. They’ve been struggling the last several years, alongside many other west coast tech- and venture-focused groups.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

How do I juggle interviewing when I am extremely busy on the jobsite and working in one of the most toxic environments I’ve ever been in. I don’t want to ruin relationships but I have to go
