Is anyone else a super duper perfectionist? It’s crippling my productivity and I’ve gotten complaints from partners that I’m slow. They’re not wrong. I’m a first year and I already feel like I’m failing.

Do you have a sense of where you’re getting bogged down? Are you spending a ton of time proofreading? Are you going down rabbit holes on research/assignments, trying to tie down every possible loose end? Something else? You could have an assistant or paralegal help with proofing. If you’re going off on tangents in research, I’d suggest putting together a rough research plan or outline and running it by the supervising attorney, and then checking in frequently to make sure you’re focusing on the right things.

This is a first year canon event. It’s so overwhelming and hard to navigate. I was the same way. I got prescribed some medication to help with the anxiety and spiraling, and it really helped me, if you’re open to that. You got this!

Is the complaint that you aren’t getting your assignments turned in time or because a lot of your time gets written off?

Oh got it. Yes, definitely get your assignments in on time. Work late if you need to. Give constant updates to the partner as well on your progress. Regarding the time written off, that will get better with practice. I feel like as long as you are producing solid work product and your efficiency improves over time, you should be fine.

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
