Hey, everybody. As I told you last week, we did not plan on doing this as a two-parter,

but given that I got travel, Sarah's got travel, it's the dog days of summer,

and she didn't want to run screaming from the conversation at the hour mark.

We just kept talking and turned this into a two-part, you know, hashtag life thing.

So here is part two of the life advice,

Ask Me Anything episode with Sarah Isger, the host of advisory opinions and fancy pants person. Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention.

Can you digger?

Ladies and Jeeke!

Ladies for the listeners, this is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant podcast, brought to you by the Dispatch and Dispatch Media.

Sarah Isger is back.

This is more of an A-O thing.

So if you like this question, people, and you don't listen to A-O, there's something wrong

with you. I'm an associate

a big law firm. I'm on the partnership track and will be up for a non-acquity partner in about two years. I'm confident I would make it to partner, but I feel burnt out and I'm ambivalent about partnership due to the amount of work and other lifestyle effects. Out of all of your friends and colleagues, who became partners, how many were glad, how many were

regretful, and why?

What's a better career track for being a federal judge?

Law firm partner or AUSA?

Okay, there's a lot in there.

I do know a few happy partners, but I think they were happy associates, too.

I don't mean that like any job,

there's good days and bad days and there's parts of your job that you like and don't like.

But if you're hating it now, I don't think being partner is going to make you hate it less.
