How do you guys actually survive law firms long term?
A few months ago I had too much on my plate and the partner ended up reducing my workload because I was overwhelmed. Now things are slower and my hours are becoming an issue, so I genuinely don’t know how you’re supposed to manage that balance.
I also work with an associate who makes me second guess myself all the time and has taken credit for work I did before, which definitely doesn’t help.
I’m curious how people who’ve been in firms for a few years deal with all of this. Do you eventually stop stressing about hours and people you work with or is this just part of the job lol
