I've had a hybrid role for the past 4 years where I get unlimited sick days (well 14 really until fmla kicked in), 3 weeks of vacation, 3 personal days. I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

I’m no expert, but I’d think having some legal work like doc review on your resume is better than having a gap (which you’d have to explain in interviews anyways).
Also, fwiw, I’m in a “real” associate role and so burned out after a few years that I WISH I could do doc review work. Not even joking, if your company is hiring, hmu!
Man, I feel for you. I did the same thing when I graduated in 2011. My first “real” job was for a small firm who was advertising on Craigslist. It turned out to be pretty shady and just burned through associates. But it got me in contact with the legal community and I was able to find another job through other lawyers I met. Good luck!!

Don’t scrub it, just focus on the transferable skills that you learned from the doc review job
