Come up with a business reason that makes sense or tie it in to your professional goals and how your experience will make you the best for the new workstream.

Then create a short presentation summarizing the change you’d like to make while also proposing the steps that would need to happen operationally to make it work.

Change is a lot easier when you do all the work 😅

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).
