Did this last winter when I faced a potentially life-threatening illness (luckily it didn’t turn out that way). Left consulting a few months later. Life is fleeting and I want to love what I do with it.

Hear you, hang in there and have faith in yourself.

My brother in the UK got the virus. Really serious as he’s got an underlying condition. I’m in North America, and obviously can’t go. So, yes. A lot of introspection going on over here.

I’m a 2nd year associate and I’ve been working at the same firm since I started. In a nutshell, I love the work (the practice area) but not the people very much (it’s just not a fit). I’ve been thinking of leaving for some time. I have an opening at another law firm, but my practice area would be different. Should I just wait for another opening in my area of preference? With Covid, openings are rare for entry level associates ...

Hey ladies!
Curious how you would handle this. I got someone close to me a director role at my company. I pulled alot of strings to make this happen. I’m on my way out and would love an opportunity at her current company but the best they can do is tell me to apply and see how that goes. How would you process this? Is it business as usual or you’d feel hurt. I go hard for my loved ones but when it comes to me it’s… meh you’re on your own and good luck!
