Current mood: I would like to set one of my partners on fire. ISO reminders to not engage with him until cooler heads can prevail.

Here’s a true story. I started in biglaw. Partner A made my life miserable and I frequently wanted to set him on fire. Fast forward 20 years. I am one of 3 name partners in a small firm. One of my partners, by coincidence, is social friends with A, who was gently pushed out of the biglaw firm and now GC of a RE company. A is fired by RE company and comes to MY firm begging for a job. I became A’s boss. I was never a jerk to A as A was to me but I loved it when A came tp my office and sat in the chair on the other side of my desk asking me for help.

OP, while you are seething, remember the future is unknown.

the main partner I work for hasn’t been giving me consistent enough work (or type I want) so while I work for him still on some deals, I’ve had to go and get other work from other partners. He doesn’t regularly check in on what I’m working on. He keeps volunteering me for projects without checking if I have capacity and if he expected to know everything I’m working on… he would’ve thought I was just doing nothing the last 2 months. I don’t know how to address this workload balancing with him!

Corp/securities associate and lateraled to a 40-50 attorney firm earlier this year. I’m a non traditional candidate and considered a 3rd or 4th year and make $200k base. Waiting on raise/bonus info but can’t help but wonder if I could be making $100k more at a larger firm and working similar hours. I put a premium on the people I work with and have gotten a good rhythm here as well as built up a good rep so far. For reference I have billed avg. 180-200 hrs a month. Any insights?
