I’m curious about this too. 40s, though.

I think think tanks are well networked people coming up with ideas and their friends making it happen? No?

So consulting without implementation 😉

bizarre situation. Working w older male partner and younger male associate on precedent- setting litigation, super important to client. Client’s entire mission is this litigation. Older male partner and younger male associate are buddy buddy and blowing off all my concerns. I point out writing deficits, problems with our arguments, areas we need to tighten up and they see me as annoying and overly pedantic. Not sure if I should go to female dept chair abt this or just keep quiet.
