Slightly related question: all the associates (second years) in my firm talk about wanting to leave. I may have mentioned to 1-2 closer associate friends that I’m looking - I know many are interviewing and somewhat open about it. Then again our class is really close and we are generally miserable. Anyone above our level however doesn’t know. Is that kosher? Sounds like it isn’t normal from the above responses...

Yeah I meant along the lines of Associate1. Seems like similar themes across firms

OP tbh I kinda regret doing so - would caution you. Word does get around, feels uncomfortable even among the majority of the associate class. Then again it’s mitigated by my firm culture - EVERYONE at my firm complains about leaving that eventually we stop taking word of mouth seriously but would still caurion

Depends on the relationship

I would caution against it, because such things often have a way of getting out, even when shared in confidence. Your downside professionally outweighs the upside personally of being able to commiserate with colleagues.

I’ve done some soul searching of late and established I’d love to be offered a FTE role in my current company. I think this is partly due to never having had a full time job which I’ve enjoyed and which have valued my contributions. I think this is due to wanting to feel accepted. I know acceptance needs to start with me etc but I think redundancy and workplace gaslighting has meant I’ve never achieved growth and status in one company where I can truly grow. Anyone else has this?
