Sigh. I started at a T2 recently and I’m realizing that I don’t like it at all. I’m not motivated and anytime I hit the bench I get anxiety about the projects I’ll be put on that may not fit with my goals. I’m too new to take a leave and I honestly don’t have the energy to apply elsewhere & interview. Any thoughts? I was initially trying to make it to 1 year but I’m not hopeful about that…

Do you have a type of work that you like to do? And if so can you work with your coach / people you trust at the firm to find projects focused on that work?

I don’t have any anxiety anymore about what my “next” project will be because I know what I like and am good at and have built a network of people willing to staff me on that area.

If you don’t have the energy for a job search, nor can you take leave, I would focus on finding what work energizes you sooner rather than later.

Just out of curiosity - what type of work are you targeting?

Do you feel like a T1 will staff you on projects that always align with your goals? That’s also not realistic.

Hola everyone,

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it.
