[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. Also lawyer here making similar amount. I agree your situation is not that bad in the grand scheme of things and you should probably just stick it out.

However -- given that you seem to have good rapport with your employer, have you tried improving your situation by just asking (demanding?) to scale back travel or sending a deputy instead (for their career development!)? Not sure what kind of law you practice but many legal things can be handled fully remotely these days. My employer is also very happy to question previously "necessary" travel to reduce travel budgets and hit various sustainability goals.

And while we do have various RTO initiatives and other "required" global meetings, we also have senior people who just refuse to comply and won't be fired because of their value and longevity to the organization. We also routinely make travel exceptions for people with special situations (chronically sick family members, single parents, etc.).

I know I would rather over-accommodate a great senior person on my team rather than risk losing them and having to hire again.

You might be able to eliminate your one pain point if you just ask! [/quote]
