My issue is that i do not think I can deal with the stress of working at the place, i have been here for 3 full months and it feels like deadlines never end and i never get any time to myself. on top of that, i feel like i am not doing a great job with the tasks i am assigned and feel like i might not be cut out for law at all. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do? or am i just being a coward and the correct answer is to accept this and suck it up- to stop complaining basically
Ofcourse people can say i am coddled or life is not that easy and toughing it out is always better in the long run, but what concerns me is that i genuinely feel like im shedding a part of myself and becoming more dissociated / absent the longer this goes on, which is why I am trying to reposition myself and aim for an inhouse job
The trick is finding out how to even start the inhouse search, but im hoping that 1 year of experience will count for SOMETHING, doesn't have to be much
