We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. You are committed to learning and basically establishing trust with seniors to let you handle things on your own. If they don’t trust your work product they will keep meddling
2. You don’t have a toxic team to start with that won’t let you be no matter what and would get insecure if you are very good
3. You have to be assertive when you get the chance. Don’t be a doormat to politics if you are confident about your work quality.
To sum up, know your worth and use it to push back those who waste your time. Saved time means more wlb
I am committed to corporate law, so please avoid suggesting a career switch. What I'd like to know from industry seniors is whether these issues are just part of the A0 phase and will ease over time, or if they tend to escalate as you move up the ladder. How do you maintain mental peace in such a demanding environment?
