When I felt I didn't have any partners on my side.

Interesting. I was about to 🥜slap the partner that I work for but this changes everything.

When I wanted staying to make sense for my career and it didn’t. When I had to keep trying to justify staying to myself. When I realize I was lying to myself and everybody else about how happy I was. When the discomfort of staying finally outweighed the discomfort of trying something new.

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)
