New attorney feeling overwhelmed my second week! A bunch of cases need pleadings and I am getting emails every few minutes and lots of things I have to do immediately. I am not great at switching tasks every few minutes. Am I just going to have to work very late every evening to find uninterrupted time to work on research and bigger pleadings? Worried litigation is always juggling a million balls and terrified of dropping any.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

Alternatively, is there something that will cause you not to assign cases to particular firm?

Does it get better or do I need to plan my exit to a different field ASAP?

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample. I dont have anything recent but provided what I had from last yr in a legal writing class, it was not enough for them. I became licensed this May so I dont have an array of motions to pick from. Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard
