I've been struggling with spacing out at work. Normally I catch myself writing the wrong words. Recently, my audit documentation has really taken a hit. (I put EUR, USD, and GBP instead of JPY, EUR, and USD). It's was an extremely simple error that shouldn't have happened, but I was 100% on autopilot. My question is: how do you deal with burnout and feeling like you're on autopilot? Did your work recover?

Hi connections , anyone working with Barclays ? Need a refferal.

If you’re a fourth year in biglaw, what responsibilities are you given in m&a? I feel like I still haven’t had a ton of opportunities working on purchase agreements (and mostly just take the lead on ancillary work streams) and I’m afraid I’m falling behind others in my class year.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
