In my first trimester and struggling hard. Everything is taking me longer than normal. Should I cut my time to what I think it would be if I wasn’t feeling so bad or let it be and hope for the best?

Why would you cut your time??? Unless you’re literally like taking time away because you’re on the toilet for a long time or are staring into space doing nothing for several minutes then no. If you’re working you’re working. Let the partners cut the billing. Partners don’t cut their billing because they choose to take forever printing out documents then hand marking them and scanning them back in instead of learning how to work Word and PDF so why should you? Likewise… the argument can be made that if you ever work from a laptop or from a single monitor computer that you’re adding time to produce a document versus two screens so you should cut time… when does that argument end at that point?

Don’t cut your time, the partners can handle and will have more context once you are comfortable sharing about your pregnancy. If you feel like things are slipping or you just have too much on your plate it may be helpful to find a trusted person at your firm/on your teams to connect with to see if you can reduce your workload (understanding you may not want to tell anyone in the first trimester). Good luck, and also congratulations it’s an exciting time, even though first trimester can be so rough!

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?

23, Trying to figure out how to balance putting money away for retirement and slowly saving for down payment in the future (7-9 years). Feel like I should be putting as much as I can away for retirement as early as I can to maximize compounding but also don’t want to screw myself over for a down payment
