I’ve been practicing in ID for 1.5 years and hate it. I can’t tell if I just hate law in general or if I have a tainted view of law due to my work environment. I like reading/analyzing documents and writing, but I hate arguing and I hate the process of researching, but like the end result. Sometimes I feel like I hate the whole job but like the feeling after of success. I wonder if I can be a good lawyer if I just view it as a job or is this a sign it’s not the career for me …?

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA.

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible.
