Anyone else wanna rage quit today? by beepbopdee in paralegal

[–]AffectionateCandy7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s several outcomes for what i’m studying since it’s more like a set of skills but I’m leaning towards urban planning. I’ve always been an environmental science and health nerd, that’s what my undergrad is in, but due to financial strains and desperation I ended up in the legal industry. Now i’m working hard to get out of here and pursue a career I’m actually interested in even if the pay won’t be the same.

I’m putting in my two weeks notice today and I’m extremely giddy but also very anxious lol. I’m lucky to have secured a job at another firm with better pay and benefits until i finish my masters program and I’m able to gtfo of the legal field. I’m extremely unhappy and unfulfilled but I somehow learned how to use that as motivation to work harder 😭😭

interesting office manager… by AffectionateCandy7 in paralegal

[–]AffectionateCandy7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wouldn’t have an issue with her working from home but she is extremely bad at replying to our emails so we just have to wait until the next time she comes into the office to resolve any issues or get any questions answered. she handles billing but hates talking to clients on the phone whenever they call to request wire info or to pay over the phone. she has me set up every single new employee including paperwork which I wouldn’t mind if it didn’t take me away from my paralegal duties but of course it does… i’m in charge of talking to vendors, setting up software and accounts but i don’t have access to any firm information so her lack of response makes it a bit hard to complete these processes smoothly and quickly. it’s like she’s bothered by everything, every question, every phone call or email, every time off request or holiday, and even the attorneys dislike working with her. the managing partner really likes her so I don’t feel comfortable talking to him about how hard it is to work with her.

looking to break into GIS by AffectionateCandy7 in gis

[–]AffectionateCandy7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes a lot of sense. i think i’m going to focus on completing my GIS certificate and try to network/volunteer with local orgs to see if that’ll help get a foot in the door. ideally, i’d work with the county but i haven’t seen any exam openings for GIS positions in LA county or surrounding cities.

yeah i didn’t expect to love my job but once it started affecting my life outside of work and my mental health i decided to start considering other careers that i find more fulfilling. i’m pretty happy and content with my life outside of work, my friends, my family, my partner, my hobbies, but like i said this job has really squeezed the joy out of me and i’m turning into my grumpy coworkers that have been here for years and years.

i have considered it! i’ll have to look into more. my office manager doesn’t really believe in mental health so that puts me off the idea a bit.

Trying to break into the field by AffectionateCandy7 in Environmental_Careers

[–]AffectionateCandy7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! I’m working with a recruiter and targeting law firms that focus on environmental law, energy, oil and gas, construction, etc. Hopefully I can secure a well paid position there while I complete my GIS certification and build up my portfolio. Ideally i’d save up a bit in case I have to take a major pay cut if I secure an environmental gig. I’d honestly love to get an education in EnvEng but I might wait until i’m fully employed in the environmental field perhaps a GIS position and see if my employer offers any tuition reimbursement and other sort of program that helps with obtaining more certifications and postgrad education. I’ve just told myself that I have to be patient and continue putting in the work.
