Should I apply to 2 year clerkship as a 2nd year associate? I’m putting my apps together for clerkship positions at the moment. I know that, if I land anything, it wouldn’t start until 2022 or 2023. At that point I’ll be a 3rd or 4th year. I really don’t mind a 1 year clerkship because I love litigating, but would a 2 year clerkship be the wrong move here? I may be a 5th or 6th year when I’m done with it. Any thoughts?

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

This job’s demanding things from me I can’t even achieve in my (much simpler) personal life - like getting organized, planning head, keeping time, multitasking. I’m smart (I think?) but slow and it’s very hard to focus, stay motivated, and see tasks through. At what point do I walk away? In reality every role that pays well is going to demand these skills to varying degrees and I’m all but convinced I’ll never have them - after all I’ve been trying since childhood. What to do? 😢

How does one most effectively make the transition into management from an Individual Contributor?

I've been an individual contributor for 4 years in Tech, have 8 years of experience total. I'm finding it difficult to make the management transition despite having management experience, performing beyond expectations, and having a genuine passion for enablement and development.

I'd appreciate any success stories or pointers you can offer in regards to this transition.

I’ve always heard that being at one of the tech Silicon Valley firms sets you up well for in house positions. Is that true across the board or only for folks there who do ECVC or tech trans work? If you’re just doing m&a there, do you still get the same advantages when trying to go in house as compared to m&a from another firm?

Interested to see some perspectives - currently working at a Payroll & Benefits Specialist at a fast growing company and recently passed my PHR!

I’m 25, have 3 years of experience, and get paid $59k/year.

Where does one go from here? Thanks in advance for any and all answers!

Have been slow since the Summer (100-120 hour months). Work is starting to pick up, but I have no motivation to do the work anymore. Anyone else have this problem? How did you rebound? I have a mountain of work building and still only bill like 6-7 hours because I get exhausted after that.

Just me or is M&A picking up (in August of all months…) 😭

I started at a v100 firm in NY 6 months ago from a regional firm in the transactions group. Since work has been slow I haven’t had too many opportunities to do good work for partners but I feel I have when given the chance.

However, one partner who is notoriously difficult has given me a number of assignments and is an extreme micromanager and know it all. Now when I get an email from him my stomach drops as nothing positive ever comes out of it. Does anyone have advice on coping with this?

What would you include about you on your bio as a late junior associate/early mid level? I feel like it’s important to flag what you work on, but also not like you have much control over that at this stage. Anything that’s a huge accomplishment to have done as a junior just feels braggy.
