Has anyone else felt like you tend to get relegated to a more administrative role in your cases where men (even junior to you) take on a substantive role? How did you handle it?

Stand up for yourself. Delegate admin to the paralegals/ juniors and ask your partner for proper work suitable for your level, or become a pushover.

You’re right, I just have to stop doing it. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t have to be asked anymore and I just do it. That’s on me.

Only with one specific partner, and that person is notorious for it. Considering leaving the firm since I can't avoid working with him...

Just transferred from IT Audit to Strategy and Transactions. Been a goal of mine for a while so I’m happy to see it play out. Not posting just to say I did it, but because I’ve been following this bowl for a while and see people get negative about being pigeon holed. There were tons of transferable skills that I was able to highlight that got a role that’s completely different, so I just don’t want anyone feeling discouraged if they’re hitting walls.

I was given a promotion 6mos ago & told that the position was a lateral move & a raise would be given at my 6 month mark. Throughout my time at time at this company I’ve realized that they call people in to give their raise on the exact date of milestones (i.e: 6 mos, 1yr, & so on). It’s now been one week since my 6 months in this new position. I’d like to reach out to my boss and set up a meeting to review my work & discuss a raise. Should I wait a bit longer or should I set this up now?

My firm has two lines of business. One line is a big mess, but accounts for the vast majority of business. The other is less of a mess but military-grade tidy in comparison.

My current, relatively ungrateful workplace offered more in base compensation in response to an offer from another firm.
