Was getting lectured / berated by a client today. Almost closed my laptop and said I’m done with this job mid-meeting. How close have you guys felt to a breaking point? Has anyone quit spontaneously?

Junior litigators, how are you all doing? Am I the only one finding it impossible to manage my own caseload, take on new urgent assignments from partners, and not be burnt out right now?

Doesn’t help that partners take forever to review my work so i can get the product to the client. Looking for commiseration & encouragement that things will look up lol!
