I appreciate the culture where I can approach anyone, be it a fellow associate or a partner at the firm for questions I have or direction I need. In fact it's encouraged here, there are regular reviews people expect you to do of their work and that learning from the constant cycle of giving and getting feedback has scaled my learning curve immensely.
It's hard to manage things outside of work - whether that's working out or studying. Though that might have to do with me adjusting to the city and spending a lot of time in travel.
