Firm passed me over for partnership but seems to be bribing me to stay with a bonus that is about 75% of my base pay. I feel good about the money but shitty about not making partner. Anyone else in this happy/sad boat?

Don’t leave, that’s stupid. Take the money, stay and interview for partner positions at other firms, take said new role & use bonus to fund capital contribution. Now you’re cash flowing!

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

How do I know Big-Law is not for me?

I am a first year who just started a couple of months ago and I am literally confused all the time.

I felt bed because I spent over 25 hours on this. I wouldn’t be very bothered but the other Associates in my class are killing it. So I just feel dumb all the time.

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!
