Obviously many of us get paid very well and there is an expectation with work demands for being paid that high. But what’s too much? How do you set a limit to preserve your mental health? I find myself guilty for taking time to decompress but I know I come back to work refocused after I do it.

I’ll let you know when I figure it out. I had to talk myself down from taking on more work this morning, even though I’m having a slow month (immediately after a crazy month, which followed two crazy years). I got in over my head last year and am trying to avoid making the same mistake.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Junior Associates - How much student loan debt are you and your peers in these days? A few young partners and counsel at my firm were discussing the student loan moratorium and most of us were convinced we could have paid the majority of our loans off with the bonuses associates got these last two years. But we are all old and when we graduated 150k to 200k was about the max student loan debt people graduated with. So educate me. What is the average student loan debt these days?
