Working in a "small" office. Struggling quite a bit as I need to fly to see most of my college friends, the place I live is very sparsely populated and struggling to date or even socialize. Most coworkers of my age are not the kinda company I would want to associate with. I feel incredibly alone as I live by myself.

Can feel incredibly alone at times and relying on my friends elsewhere isn't sustainable for me to be ok. Really staying only for job security and get qualified/experience

Not in an office. Everything else holds true for me too though. Everyone I know and love lives out of state. I have some friends here, but we're not super close and all of us our busy. I feel like I get up, go to work, come home and watch Netflix until I fall asleep every day. Pretty depressing routine to be in, but I can't seem to break out of it.

Totally get what you mean. Living somewhere quiet can feel really isolating, especially when most of your friends are far away. I’m in it mostly for experience too, but some days the loneliness hits hard. Hang in there..it’s tough, but you’re not alone in feeling this way."

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not. However, I am very, very interested in transitioning to this practice. And I reaaally want this job because it’s at my dream firm. How would you recommend preparing for the lateral interview?

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.
