Good question. Are you guys falling apart yet?

There were some layoffs earlier in the year, mostly middle / back office with a few front office guys (m&a perspective, no clue about s&t). Word on the street is that the new intake will be smaller than last year and there is potential for more cuts later in the year depending on how things play out

Anyone know of big law firms in Dallas where you can be M&A, make market/bonus by billing in the 1900-2000 hour range every year and not get fired. To early to decide if I want to shoot for partner or go in house. At this point, just don’t want to bill 2000-2400 hours a year to get a garbage bonus (5%). Double points if the culture isn’t god-awful. Does such a place exist?

Feeling super anxious about a position I interviewed for last week. They seemed excited about me before this second round, but I'm second guessing myself and feeling down because they're taking a while to get back to me. I'm feeling very negative. It's been so difficult trying to find a position during this time and I feel like I have no purpose and am always unappreciated, especially after having been laid off.

I’ve been considering going back to school to become a therapist, and I was recently laid off so I’m thinking about doing it now (instead of finding another HR job and waiting). (Continued…)

My salary expectations are based on a multiple factors. In some instances I am willing to take a lower salary, but I don’t want them to know that. What can I say to get them to give me the range first and then I can state if that works for me or not?

I'm struggling at work and in the process of adjusting my meds, while simultaneously trying to fix some bad habits that I think came from burnout.

I think, in part, because they have theirs under control and are a high performer. Maybe they forgot what poorly controlled symptoms/adjustments feel like? Anyone else have similar experiences?
