I’m a concerned friend of a new associate that just finished her first year of biglaw. She used to be a very kind, bright, shining person. I think her job is turning her into a very miserable and sad person.
Yesterday she drove almost two hours to my place to crash and vent, and she’s been working non-stop since she’s woken up. I want her to seek help or take a break but she says she has too much debt to do so. I’m pretty sure it’s in the 200K+ range but not completely sure. Either way it’s making me very worried.
Are there really no other jobs that will help her pay off her loans? She says PSLF is not reliable with the new admin but idk it hurts to see her like this. What can I do to help her? I’ve been cooking meals and did her laundry for her and I have a very chill WFH set up for the rest of the week.
