Pros and cons of moving to Dallas? I’m late 20’s, recently married and would only know a couple people there! Interested in outdoorsy activities, making new friends, culture, and good neighborhoods?

As a 26yo who moved to Dallas, I’d say Dallas is affectionately mid. Not too big, not too small. Some people complain there’s nothing going on but I’ve never had a shortage of things to do if you’re active at all. Lots of pickle ball, sand volleyball etc. hiking is pretty meh but still alright. Lots of young folks down town and areas with a decent amount in the burbs as well. Idk how long I’ll stay here but deff been pleasantly surprised given all the hate I feel like Dallas gets relative to Austin or other major cities

Not a great outdoorsy vibe, but Dallas is a very easy place to live.

0 outdoorsy vibes. Pickleball nation though (a few articles were written about this) and plenty of parks when it’s not 125 degree outside

It may seem obvious, but in my experience partners value trial experience over anything else, so get it however you can. For example, my firm will favor a former prosecutor who has seen the courtroom a lot but has no civil litigation experience (not even a depo) over a seasoned associate who has only second chaired cases with a partner but hasn’t tried a case. Even trying a case and losing gives you credibility at my firm because you still did it.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
