I’m from the San Diego office, it’s very relaxed! But you are only a few miles from UCSD, La Jolla Shores, and Torrey Pines Golf Course. Plus there is an abundance of weed and carne asada burritos so if you aren’t relaxed you are doing something wrong.

This is the most basic question, so yep, I’m asking you to take it easy on me when you reply. I have been practicing for about 5 years total. I have been in civil practice for 2 years. These 2 years have been the most demoralizing, unfulfilling 2 years of my life. I have been giving myself pep talks to find the “positive” spin on it but firm life isn’t for me. I know networking is key but do you have some thoughts/suggestions on how to make an exit...crying at therapy is becoming too much.
