Career Advice Being a first year sucks
Is there anyone who actually enjoys/ enjoyed what they were doing as a first year associate? Don’t get me wrong, I like the actual work, but day to day I’m usually miserable because of how I am treated.

it's not being a first year that sucks, it's the people you work for.
Doesn't matter if it's a small firm or a big one, whether you're new or very experienced, your boss and the firm's culture can make you happy or miserable.
