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?

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.

I feel like a lot of people go through this phase before they finally catch on. Most likely you just work with assholes

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

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

Keep things in perspective. Most of these 'mistakes' are immaterial. Do you realise how little people in other industries care about typos etc.?

Yes but unfortunately I’m in law and this industry cares a lot about typos. Wish I could change the past brother. I’d certainly be doing something else.

Seriously though if (when) I get fired where does one go? Are there such a thing as firms that will hire a freshly fired attorney?
