3rd year here. what do you do to improve a situation where it feels like partners/senior associates view you as not worth the time to develop/give work to so you can grow? i was a pretty lackluster junior im big enough to admit it (mainly as a firm citizen, think I did solid work commensurate with my inexperience despite little guidance), and many of the mentors i started with have left. kinda just feel like im wasting my career at my current firm but cant justify moving to another firm.

I’m a first year associate (almost second year). I work at a national firm and I’m not a litigator. When I started with the firm, I was told I could work out of any office.

I don’t know how to make this request.

Has a partner ever come back and asked you why you spent so much time on certain things? Im a first year and this hasn’t happened to me at my firm and they tell us not to cut our own time, but my first firm (short stint, small firm) did this to me allll the time and made me feel guilty — so just curious if this has happened to anyone in big law.
