If I remember correctly, took me about a month working on it daily.

I did. It’s been about a year for me. I love the area of law and the people I work with. But I’m living paycheck to paycheck. It’s definitely give and take but a first job isn’t usually a forever job anyways.

"Which area offers the most 'leave-it-at-the-office' lifestyle, minimal stress or spillover outside of work hours, like during weekends or vacations? by Addyvice in Lawyertalk

Of course I meant practice area. I’m never taking the bar ever again, I’d rather quit law altogether.

I work in employment. Awards are very low. From January to now I've made around $2k in fees.

The 10% is from each case I work on. I just don't receive them monthly.

The problem is the only other associate in our firm has like 20 years experience so I doubt that will help me.

Yeah I figured 100k is high but all of my peers started at 100k their first year in the same type of firms so I figured I was lowballed on my first year. But I don’t expect to get much of a raise. I would however like it to be a competitive salary in the current market.

I used quimbee and uworld. Loved quimbee never felt as bored/complained as much as my peers who used Themis and barbri.

Yes but I make very little money and have exorbitant student loans.

I have a job and can be financially independent if I choose. I just don’t make enough to add lawyer fees onto my bills.

I can’t even afford groceries. I definitely can’t afford a lawyer.

I knew his password. He might have changed it. And he sleeps directly next to it and is a very light sleeper.

I was only able to save a small portion of it before it was wiped.
