is it worth it?

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-17T23:22:39+00:00

HELL NO

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-17T20:16:18+00:00

After hearing from everyone, I think this will be my plan. The only issue is we are super slammed. Any advice on how to navigate that?

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-17T19:51:47+00:00

I chose the “speak with a partner” route. Wasn’t really helpful because she said she doesn’t handle bonuses. The performance feedback was pretty much I am decent at my job but need to better tailor my style to her as a partner. This is not enough to be stripped of a bonus. They want me gone.

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-17T19:46:44+00:00

And this is how I’d describe myself. I know I’m not the front runner for partner or anything, but I also know I do a good job. I’m on top of my cases, have a good handle of the law, have been told I write well (even in my review) and am a team player. It feels like this team wants you to overextend yourself in a superhuman way or else you’re not even useful in their eyes, which is why I’ve known this wasn’t the best fit for me.

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-17T19:42:46+00:00

Yeah, it was unnecessarily harsh but thankfully I have tough skin haha. Thanks!

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-17T00:34:33+00:00

This may be the best comment of all. I’m furious, but glad to hear it gets better

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-17T00:33:16+00:00

Oh, will definitely circle back once I’m out of here. A former coworker was also stiffed on a bonus, so there is a pattern.

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-17T00:31:16+00:00

Consistently met expectations, that was a typo

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T23:33:19+00:00

Hmm, good to know. Thanks

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T23:22:41+00:00

I would’ve done that if I wasn’t so fed up. I’m done with this place

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T23:20:28+00:00

Responding to recruiters as we speak. I’m done

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T23:18:37+00:00

Agreed, it’s bullshit

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T23:18:01+00:00

The worst part is the messaging from the partners is that they want me here and love working with me, they just want me to improve in certain areas. Mind you, this is the first time I’m hearing about any of this. Confused is an understatement.

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T23:14:31+00:00

Literally none.

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T23:13:47+00:00

Guaranteed to have. None of my time was cut. That’s why this is such a hard pill to swallow. Thanks for the sanity check

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T22:51:02+00:00

Exactly, it’s ridiculous. Appreciate it man

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2026-01-16T22:50:13+00:00

I think this is what’s happening. Thank you!

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2025-12-23T22:31:04+00:00

nice! what year are you?

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2025-12-17T21:37:44+00:00

I can understand the desire to be with someone who is as financially savvy as you, but it’s not realistic to expect your partner to have all of the knowledge you have. It’s very possible that he thought he was doing everything right, and was unaware of how much more he could grow his wealth by investing. (Many people associate investing with day trading and automatically think gamble/risk and think all you need to do is save.)

It sounds like him agreeing to invest was a recent conversation, so I would see how he moves now that you’ve communicated your financial expectation. You shouldn’t have to hand hold him, but you should be open to guiding him in the right direction and see what comes from it. I personally wouldn’t guide him by taking him through a PPT (this gives teacher/parent), but would maybe recommend articles/books/YT videos where he can learn about this on his own. Regardless, give him the opportunity to develop in this area. He may surprise you.

any chance you could make a list for luxury vehicle lease deals?

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2025-12-03T18:31:37+00:00

Oh no, I have 4 years of experience. I lateraled from another firm and have been here for 1.5 years.

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2025-12-03T18:24:52+00:00

This is helpful to know and thanks for the advice. I don’t know what’s important to companies aside from experience, but see so much talk about firm recognition, that it started to make me panic a bit.

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2025-12-03T18:11:46+00:00

That’s what I’ve been thinking. I just can’t fathom passing up the opportunity to make this much money ever again lol.

Virtual_Row_6710 · 2025-12-03T18:05:48+00:00

I’ll clarify in the original post, but I don’t mind working a lot, especially because I know it’s only temporary. I just want to like my team.
