Totally agree!

Keep in mind that the partner might not have the same pull at the new firm that she had at your current firm. I would look at the culture at the new place and compare to what it’s like at your current firm.

Yes culture is important.

Consider why she left.......do you trust that and feel the same as she does?

Valid point Senior Counsel. If you can chat with her you should and get some context.

If that partner is brining you over and they’re an advocate they might be a stronger advocate there as well. I’d try to assess how quickly you can move up the ranks and what support you’ll have vs the 50k bonus.

There are many common symptoms of Burnout. E.g., Changes in sleeping patterns, negativity, low energy, lack of motivation, not caring about work. The list can go on for a while.

But they all fall under the umbrella of three major symptoms:

1. Exhaustion
2. Cynicism
3. Professional Efficacy

Are you ignoring your symptoms? If not, which one do you have?

Check out @burnoutcoachcarlo on Instagram to learn more.

Exhaustion and Negativity are not the only symptoms of Burnout. Lacking motivation is also a major symptom.

For those who are driven but may feel stuck in a repetitive situation or just feel like you are "going through the motions", find ways to motivate yourself!
