I’ve posted this same response on another anonymous app and I asked the same of that OP.

Do you respond to every email (solicited/unsolicited) you receive from Recruiters? We know you check your gmail/outlook/yahoo etc on the regular, in fact you likely get instant notifications on your phone.

Do you ignore our emails as much as you do from your family/friends?

No matter how many hours I bill, I always feel like I’m failing in some way.

I thought that feeling would go away as I got more senior, but it hasn’t. Is this a common feeling among other associates? And does it ever go away?
