Say you join one law firm and you are struggling. First, you must bear in mind - every job is hard when you first try. You have to get used to the speed and pace. Give yourself a few months, are you still struggling? Look at your colleague, are they struggling too? If they have the same amount of work but manage perfectly, 1) either they are more capable or clock in more hours. 2) you are really lacking. Then you have to think to yourself - are you willing to work as hard as them? When you OT and still show no improvement, why is that? Got two scenarios - either you are not as smart (nothing wrong with that) or you spend your time surfing net, on your phone or making idle chit chat. Most people underestimate how much time those took up. Did you take long lunches? If you don't take lunch, what do you do during lunch time? Keep a time log of what you do during work - you will know how much time you spend. If you still cannot improve, I will advise you resign. Like the saying goes, one man's meat is another poison. You may find some place to your liking and someone may cherish your job.
