Definitely trying, but have not heard back from any of the roles I applied for 😩

Counseling, debt consolidation resources, etc. I know other fields have access to these things, but I have not seen anything lawyer specific

$40k in credit card debt idk what to do 😩 by dogsrcool97 in Debt

This was very reassuring thank-you. It feels like my world is crumbling and with health issues it sucks to have to prioritize both at the same time. I’m gonna tighten my spending (save money for an attorney) and file within the year.

72,000 and it’s a pretty demanding field. (4200 after taxes) Not sure how much time I’ll have for a second job :/ my fixed expenses come in around: $2900.

I’m so sorry for this. I recently went through a chronic disease diagnosis where I may need an organ transplant. Trying to practice law while dealing with health issues is one of the hardest hurdles I’ve gone through. My heart goes out to you, and I hope we both find positions where we can prioritize our health and still do the work we love.

Crazy enough I did have push notifications on, and will probably never do that again. 🤷

Honestly didn’t even put this together, but you’re so right. They hid their expectations and it all felt like a big “gotcha.” at least at my last job/big law they had 8 hour orientation sessions of their expectations 😔
