After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Hit the gym, enjoy the light workload as much as you can, and job search. No need to do anything else. Wrap up the projects you’re on but don’t seek out anything new. The partners should know your situation and refrain from giving you too much more work - is someone keeps trying to give you projects, I’d raise it with the appropriate partner and they should protect you.

Associate 3, thanks! I totally agree. I’m not American and my group is all American. I do feel shadowed most of the time as I just don’t feel I’m one of them. My friends in finance and tech feel way more included

Some firms expect you to work until your website time is up, others don't!

Sorry to hear, I am in your boat. My firm is not assigning me new work and my job is to find a job. Good luck to you! Seems like you have time to find something 🤞🏼

Ask for more website time to allow you to keep looking

Would love some advice / thoughts. I went straight from law school to a corporate legal department in house for an asset manager. They like “home grown” talent and I “be worked hard and risen relatively quickly (AGC in 9 years). I work hard and get a lot of complicated deals done (structured products and private funds). I can’t shake certain people (in compliance department mainly) thinking I don’t have enough experience to do what I do because I didn’t come from a law firm. Any advice?
