Changing practice area feels impossible, but I’m miserable
Currently in litigation (~3 years). Hate litigation. Experience is in litigation. How do I move? All my experience is in this work that I just want to leave behind and do something completely different! Is it possible? How do I even get a job when I’d be coming in as an infant in a new area?!
Status Pro x right ear bud issue
This has been mentioned here before but the fix on that thread isn’t helping so I figured I’d give it another shot-
Basically the right earbud on the Pro X is just completely silent, but not off. With both sides in, the left side works fine and if I take the right out, it pauses. If I tap the button on the right one, or gesture for next song, it responds in the left. So it’s not off, just dead or something?
I have done all the resets, factory reset, disconnected/reconnected. I tried the trick with the single earbud in the case to reset it, nothing has worked. I saw someone recommending leaving it out and waiting for it to die but ideally I can actually fix it because I’m traveling tomorrow and want it now lol.
Mini rant: you pay $300 for earbuds just for this shit? And people wonder why Apple and the big dogs dominate smaller more “technical” brands. Yes it sounds 10x better but why tf would I buy shit that I CANT LISTEN TO. Okay rant done
Currently at boutique, potential lateral to big(ger) firm - how much to value loyalty early in a career??
Currently at a boutique office with really great mentorship. Potential lateral opportunity came up to a big firm. Way higher pay, nice office in a great spot, all the fun stuff that comes with a bigger firm. BUT it’s in the same practice area and directly competitive with my current firm. I’m early on in my career - how much should I value the loyalty to my current job?
I know most cynic lawyer’s knee jerk reaction is “don’t value loyalty to anyone.” But also im in a mid-size city where reputation matters. And like I said, i have a great mentor/partner here. Any thoughts?
