I've decided to do a podcast on managing attorneys and how associates can handle some crazy situations at work. Any topics you all can think of that would be beneficial? I come from a management background and started off in the corporate world prior to joining a firm. Probably dong have all the clout to get partners to tune in but looking to help associates with things.

Is it normal to struggle with the transition to starting your first legal job? I did all the things - graduated law school, passed the bar, started at the big law firm that gave me my SA offer 2 years ago… Now, I’m feeling miserable. It’s only been 2 weeks and I’m not particularly enjoying work. I was totally burnt out on law school at the end and it was a struggle to finish. I figured I was just “over” the law school grind. Now I wonder if I’m actually “over” the law. (Cont’d below)
