I had an identical experience working under a senior after I lateraled from a smaller firm. It was an absolute nightmare, particularly because they were inconsistent in their expectations. Fortunately, they are the only person I have had that problem with. I have found the more experienced partners to afford the latitude that you describe - their focus is on substantive points, not really stylistic. Hopefully you can find other folks to work for that can help you define you practice and thrive, and avoid the folks who do not.

Thank you. I needed to hear that this could get better.
Yep. It’s a problem endemic of big law and it’s honestly one of those things that will ultimately drive me out.
