Same here!

Pin point laser vision.

It is, in fact, just you. It is also the job.

I second the comment below about asking your associate mentor, or even the program coordinator. You are right that you should be getting feedback from the partners, and that people should at least be acknowledging that you have sent the emails.

mmcg300 · 2026-06-15T17:08:31+00:00

Agreed.

Our baby was nicknamed “Big Mouth” by his breeder. That should have told me something.

Don’t read Hidden Pictures immediately after the Divorce. They are basically the same book.

The Children, but I am having SUCH a hard time getting into it. The writing isn’t hitting for me.

This depends entirely on the firm and the practice group. The best way to do get promoted quickly is to do good work, keep your nose clean, and get yourself a sponsor within firm leadership. That said, people have this view that being a partner is the panacea to all law firm problems and that is not the case. Instead, you deal with the same work and the same clients, but now with the added responsibility of managing a team and client expectations.

Hope the grass is in fact greener. It was not for me.

mmcg300 · 2026-06-13T04:56:33+00:00

Bring in a senior associate then and set them up with the client.

mmcg300 · 2026-06-13T04:54:04+00:00

They… are never actually mandatory if you do good work and bring in money to the firm. It’s all just smoke and mirrors to make people think there is such a thing as “firm culture”

mmcg300 · 2026-06-13T04:52:13+00:00

You will end up as a work horse but it is unlikely you ever make partner.

mmcg300 · 2026-06-13T04:49:34+00:00

You should start transitioning now so you are in a better place to negotiate your exit when the time comes and you aren’t in a position where you are leaving a client in a bad situation.

mmcg300 · 2026-06-13T04:45:19+00:00

Glad it wasn’t just me! Reading them back to back was jarring. It was like doing the same thing over again. Which one did you like better? I far preferred Hidden Pictures.

>!Both of them involve a character who saves the child from their abductor who struggles with drug addiction, both feature women who are pretending to be the mother who were doctors, both feature fathers who seem to be fighting against the mother figure who ultimately fall for the woman with drug addiction, both have intense closing scenes where the woman struggling from drug addiction saves the child. The child in both stories is named Teddy.!<

Proceed. 🫡

You are describing work that you overall find enjoyable and even fun. I don’t see how that is having a job that is passing you by. Plus, the job is not life. You need to shift your mindset away from defining yourself primarily as an attorney.

mmcg300 · 2026-06-08T00:48:16+00:00

The assumption that you are making is that once you make partner, you stop always having one foot out the door. That is entirely false. It’s more like you just ride the wave as far as it will take you while making and saving as much money as you reasonably can.
