January is a historically slow month.
In the event you’re in restructuring…every single firm is troublingly slow right now. If you’re not in restructuring, you’re getting good reviews and have done everything you can. Without knowing the practice area, it’s hard to provide advice on whether your industry is slow or if it’s just your firm/group (or something else).

Restructuring is constantly going from insane to dead to insane. Enjoy the slow periods when they come.

Give it another six months.

What practice area? Are others at your level busy?
Lol better to be slow with good reviews. Would you rather be crushed with work, getting shit from partners, and getting “bad” reviews due to relatively trivial things occurring (e.g. not turning in absolutely perfect work, like forgetting a comma or pin cite) due to artificial deadlines and insane work amounts. All this to say, enjoy the slow time.

How low were you last year?
About 1400, corporate group
Do you have any formal or informal mentors that you can ask for advice or feedback? If you don’t work for any of them directly, they can ask other partners you’ve worked with for feedback on your work. If you’re really this slow when everyone else is busy then it’s something I’d look into.
On the other hand, you could just ride this slow wave as far as it goes and enjoy it.
