Struggling with my mental health. Doctors signed me off sick. How much detail should I go into with the partners I work with? Have really good working relationship with them and don't want my mental health to hinder my progression.

Does anyone have recommendations for work/life balance or chill culture in Chicago BigLaw? And yes, I know it’s all relative.

Trying to lateral and the conflicts clearance process could not be more frustrating. I'm at the point where I'm becoming resentful and annoyed at my new firm and I haven't even started. Is this indicative of my future experience there or completely unrelated?

What’s the typical ramp up period for a first year? I’m lucky to hit a few billable hours each day. Started in September.

Kleinberg Kaplan thoughts anyone?

How to deal with a client that requires something urgent to be done every single day? Just lateralled to a new firm and there’s a fire drill every day with this client and it’s exhausting and stressful.

I have this partner who doesn’t enjoy working with me because I do below avg work for her but she has little choice of foot soldiers. I do below avg work for her because she consistently gives me little time to do huge tasks (and usually at odd hours) and doesn’t involve me in what finally goes to the client (and I have no visibility on the client’s expectations, response, feedback, expected timeline). How do we (mainly I) get out of this painful cycle?

Restructuring check in. How my peeps doing? What’s new?

Milbank special counsel, I summon you!!!!!!!

What happened at MoFo London M&A

Thinking about a move back to my home state (Ohio). Currently a fourth year in DC biglaw (litigation). Is Jones Day the only player in Columbus as far as biglaw? (Liberal, if it matters). Any other firms I should be aware of that pay decently well/have sophisticated work?

I don’t work THAT much (1800h/year is my target), my weeks are usually 10-11 h m-f.

However, I’m still feeling overwhelmed and close to burnout, and I’m quite ashamed of it when other associates hit close to 3000h.

It’s not the hours, it’s the extreme perfectionism and level of detail expected that makes me hyper stressed when working, all the office politics and working for partners responsible for more they can handle and need explaining like kids, but take all the $ at the end of the day 🙄

I’m a fourth year cap markers US associate in London. Started my career here after law school and looking to lateral back to a firm in the US. Genuinely open to anywhere but have long term prospects of making partner, and conscious that majority of my practice here has been unregistered work. Should I just head back to NY (went to law school there and barred in NY) and gain more SEC registered experience should I be looking for more secondary markets since long term would not want to stay in NY

Do you think someone with 1700 billable hours in a slow group is in danger of getting fired?

I’m a 3rd year lit associate in BigLaw and fortunate to have earned substantive early experience—taking depos, arguing discovery motions, full ownership of briefing, case management while working closely with the partner on the strategy. I burned out and the pandemic reminded me it’s nice to see my husband. I’m considering a (nonBigLaw) transactional role. I’m nervous- of course I have transferable skills, but I’ve been living off my lit skills. Any advice or has anyone else felt this way?

Who here wakes up and is excited to go back to work? Not me… Sometimes I wonder if it’s burnout or if I’m just lazy.

Thoughts on a joint trust or two separate trusts with your spouse? Our goal is:

1) asset protection. We’d hope the trust would hold assets such as our house, cars, etc.
2) use it as a vehicle to pass onto our future kids, for whenever we die.
