I’m pretty good at most aspects of my job, but I keep making the same stupid mistake, resulting in my boss calling me to have the same convo. It’s not a fireable offense, but it pisses off the wrong people (basically, not responding to emails). I feel like I’m self-sabotaging, but as upset as the criticism makes me, I have so little motivation in this job. I don’t care about the work, I hate my clients, and I don’t care for the routine. Job is too good to leave. How to get motivated?

Planning to take the CIPP and CIPM. Will be doing self-study. What is the “book” everyone refers to for studying? Is it just the “study guide” the IAPP sells? Does anyone know if the study guides and sample questions you can buy on amazon are sufficient to use for passing? Appreciate any and all advice.

I’m a 1styear, and there’s one other junior associate of color in my group.
The partner I work for keeps calling me her name. For ex: my name is “Sara” and her name is “Jasmine”. Names not similar, we don’t look alike - but I suppose we are about the same complexion. I can’t help but think it’s because we’re the only two black juniors. I was granting her grace because my mom accidentally calls me my sisters name and stuff, I get that it happens. But now it’s becoming a microagression. Advice?

I have been struggling financially for a while now (I am paid half of what a trainee earns in London), and have been feeling quite disappointed with myself. Should I give up? (Cont.)

It’s really surprising to me that so many people are against going back to work a few times a week when we are in a profession that requires relationship building to succeed. Is anyone excited to get back into the office a few times a week? Edit: I am not judging people for wanting to wfh. I understand we are all different. Just genuinely curious about the viewpoints!

I'm a summer associate at a midsize firm and I recently found out from a partner that some of the other partners who have assigned me work mentioned how my work product didn't look proofread. I know that proofreading is really important and this gave me the gut check I need to remember to proofread before submitting any assignments. However, I only have 2-3 weeks left. Should I own up to my mistakes to the partners I've submitted work for? How screwed am I for a return offer?

How is Proskauer London ?

Should I keep a clerkship interview or decline a clerkship interview? I am risk adverse and currently have no firm offer lined up but have interviews coming up. If I had a choice, I would rather take a firm job over a clerkship job, however, I want to do litigation and I heard clerking is recommended for litigators.

The only thing I’m worried about is - if I do the clerkship interview, I can’t turn it down and would have to cancel all the interviews I have coming up for firm jobs.

Thanks!
