Date: June 22nd, 2018 5:15 PM Author: shivering area karate it’s a sweatshop midlaw gig. Boss is cool but everyone has their limits. I’ve emailed wrong people, typos, multiple mistakes when drafting, failure to ask questions (I’m an autist introvert) and just overall inability to pay attention to detail.... what’s the trajectory for someone who flames out after a few months on job? Shitlaw? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4008280&forum_id=2#36292788) |

Date: June 22nd, 2018 5:29 PM Author: shivering area karate Just lateralled as a mid level. Boss has already talked to me about it. It’s not an effort thing I just miss stuff only to have my boss find it later. Just not cut out for that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4008280&forum_id=2#36292872) |

Date: June 22nd, 2018 5:34 PM Author: Sadistic Set I don't understand your first sentence. Fuck-ups eventually learn that they're fuckups? What do they do next?
I'm a biglaw midlevel. I'm smart, charismatic, and can impress during interviews / client dinners / meetings, etc., but I cannot do mundane things without screwing something up and it's very visible on this current project. what's worse, the anxiety over my shortcomings follows me home every night, affects my sleep, free time, etc.
i'm also loaded up with debt...i feel like i'm completely fucked
EDIT: i can handle mundane shit with adderall, but that's its own can of worms as many on xo already know |

Date: June 22nd, 2018 5:49 PM Author: Swashbuckling rehab You're most likely just hyper sensitive to your mistakes and so is everyone above you cuz you're with assholes. Once you get more senior you probably still fcukup but no one points it out anymore cuz they trust you and you're less hard on yourself and realize typos aren't the end of the world. Also you'll stop fucking up shit as much cuz you will be less stressed and/or will even turn them into opportunities to talk with people. It's a weird world (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4008280&forum_id=2#36292972) |

Date: June 22nd, 2018 5:32 PM Author: Demanding Harsh Knife Dog Poop Keep things in perspective. Most of these 'mistakes' are immaterial. Do you realise how little people in other industries care about typos etc.? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4008280&forum_id=2#36292897) |
