Am I going to be worked to the bone if I join a group where I’d be the only associate supporting partners and counsels? It’s a subgroup of a corporate practice that focuses on a specialized area with great exit options and operates as a support group for other transactional and/or lit groups (like tax or IP). It’s a newly created position meaning there aren’t any previous associates that I can ask about their experience. I really like type of work the team does but worried about being miserable.

I just lateraled about 2 months ago from a Chambers 1 group to an unranked group (newer team) and I already feel like I made a mistake. Everyone is nice but I feel like I don’t get the variety of work I want, the group is disorganized and uncommunicative, and it feels like a step down from what I was doing. Do I really need to tough it out for a year or can I start seriously looking 6 months in? I was at my previous firm for four years and this is my first lateral.

I recently joined a new firm and while everyone’s technically nice, there’s a clear “in group” on every project. Jokes I don’t get, Slack threads I’m not tagged in, impromptu coffee chats I only hear about after the fact. It’s not toxic, but it’s definitely isolating. I’m trying not to force connections or be that person who pushes too hard to fit in, but I also don’t want to stay on the outside. How do you actually build real relationships across teams like this?

How do I know when my group is toxic/when is it time to lateral? I am so burnt out after multiple 2400 years and don’t feel like my group cares at all they’re constantly expecting more from me. Making below market and have the opportunity to make market. At one point I was told I could make partner by my group head but I’m not so sure I want it if this is the cost. I wake up every day hating my job. 4th year.

Has anyone been iced out after declining to switch practice groups? I’m a fifth year associate in finance, but most of my work has been from M&A since my group has really slowed down. The partners I work with asked me to officially move over. It isn’t a good time for me for a number of reasons, but since sharing that it seems like I’ve been iced out entirely.

What’s happening with the Services team at ServiceNow? Almost every SAE I know is suddenly on a “Success Plan.” Some being forced to resign, others quietly fired. Is this the new culture? From “Wow our customers” to “Wipe out our employees”? Morale’s tanked, politics are high, and fear is the new KPI. ServiceNow used to stand for purpose. Now it feels like survival.

I’ve always wanted to work in IT, following my family’s footsteps and my own interest. I have a GCSE in Computer Science and a Cambridge Technical IT qualification, but the work system makes getting into IT support feel impossible. I’ve given up on apprenticeships. Any advice on getting an IT technician role or thoughts on the current job system would be appreciated.

I attempt chat-based interview of woolworths and after that I was given 48 hours to complete the saphia.ai video based interview. After completing both of them, I received the call for group interview. Can someone please share their experience when it comes to group interview? What do they ask or what do they want to see in us?

I interviewed yesterday, and the TA person said he saw I applied at another company that has nothing to do with them. He even knew the company's name and job title. I didn't even think to ask how he knew, since this was a first for me. Are these ATS systems sharing our applications with other employers?
