How can you stay at big law firms long term with out wanting to become a partner? Any specific practice groups or situations where this can happen? I like the salary and work, but don’t care for partnership.

depends on the group but likely 6-7 is normally best time to go - being counsel is super specific per firm and arrangement.

Hi fishes
I was supposed to have my
Amazon Round 3 interview in the first week of May but the interviewer didn't join. My recruiter didn't reply for a few days and then rescheduled it.
Even in this rescheduled interview, my interviewer didn't join. This time my recruiter joined and said she'll reschedule my interview.
She still hasn't done that even after a follow up.
Is this common? Is this some kind of patience test?
I have no clue but I'm really frustrated at this point.
Please suggest

Emailed a partner requesting informal feedback on my performance on a deal but haven’t heard back. What could this mean? Trying not to read into it too much, but is this something associates usually ask or did I make things awkward / could they be avoiding the email because feedback wouldn’t be good? I’ll note that I worked more closely with the senior associate on the deal, but wanted to get the partners opinion too.

Had a (Zoom) training today with some fellow junior associates where talked primarily about diversity in our firm. 1 associate (a man) characterized women leaving the firm after starting families as their "independent choices", which I understood to imply that there is nothing wrong with the profession and women leave because they want to focus on families. The group spoke up and rebutted this but it got me thinking -

Midlevels/seniors, do you sometimes look at your time sheet at the end of the day and lower some of the amounts because they seem too high for what you did? I spent 1.7 hours on finding some agreements on Edgar and reviewing against a new agreement for a client. It wasn’t a long doc either. No one has accused me of being slow or anything, but I always look at my time entries and think I spent too much time on stuff. 😞
