Thanks! It was really bad. It was a small “experiential” / events agency. I was desperate and took the first job offered that was related to my marketing degree. I applied to so many places but kept being told something along the lines of not being a “culture fit”

My firm requires 200 hours bills per month, now they have been cracking down on us to bill 50 per week. I’m so exhausted. I absolutely hate this place. Insurance defense wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for these insane requirements. We also have to do update charts by weekly for every single one of our cases. All for a measly $85k while the firm makes thousands and thousands per week from each attorney. You only get a bonus for meeting the billable requirement, only to end up with about $2200.
