WLB never gets better, you just get richer

Mess driven by clients even as a Partner

Massive WLB decline if you are a high performing junior principal.
Think of multiple clients / multiple locations (you are lucky if in one city) and trying to address both project delivery and quality whilst working non stop on commercial opportunities.

Depends on how fragmented is your coverage - one big stable account usually easier than multiple small ones + chasing new ones

Now one manager who interviewed me reached out that there is a training material developer project which will start on 20 nov for Oracle timeline is 2 months only and SAP projects are in pipeline there was one coming but no guarantee if its final and if it has to come it will be in this month because in dec new projects do not onboard. I have worked on oracle in the past but now am fully into SAP. Should I take this project or wait until Jan for SAP project?

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
