Ex Cadwalader associate here. Depends on your practice group of course, but I, and a lot of my friends who left also, miss a lot of things about Cadwalader. It’s really not a bad place as long as you’re not working on a shitty team. Any chance you can move teams?

Agreed as a fellow former associate. I complained about that thinkpad constantly and now I miss it. I complained about everything tbh and miss half of it. Especially that sick health insurance.

Just stick it out for a year or so and you’ll have options. There are worse places.

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?

How do you deal with a manager / junior partner who is always nitpicking and questioning why you did what you did, or telling you what you did is the wrong way to do things? It’s generally prefaced with them only doing this to help you grow, but has the exact opposite effect on me. And then when you try to explain your POV, you’re tagged as being defensive. Generally ends me with saying I’m sorry. No other partners at the firm have ever raised any concerns on my communications or work product.
