Where do you draw the line between being friendly with coworkers and maintaining professional boundaries? I want to be friendly and warm but at the end of the day, these are my coworkers, not friends…..

I try to keep things personable and friendly, but I don't really get involved in anyone's personal business. And I don't drag any of my personal business into work. There are coworkers I'm friendly with to varying degrees, but it's not like we really hang out beyond working together. And I'm fine with that, as I suppose the others are.

I'm friendly but I rarely talk about myself. Instead I ask lots of questions and the person just keeps jabbering on about themselves.

Don’t share any info on your private life

Keeping my work life and personal life separate has always been a major weakness of mine. I often get too close to the people I work with and sometimes that’s OK. Sometimes I become too open with the people I work with and that’s come back to bite me in the butt more than once.

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

Hi all 👋 does anyone have any recommendations for career switchers trying to land entry-level digital marketing or social media coordinator roles?

The biggest challenge I’m finding right now is that I don’t have many of the hard skills required (photoshop, illustrator, Google analytics) 📊📈.

I would really prefer a smaller marketing agency where I can wear many hats and learn the ropes from scratch. Thanks in advance 😁
