I am in a counsel role at an AmLaw 100 firm. Was contacted by a recruiter about a counsel position at a V50, but they want my law school transcript. I graduated from law school 17 years ago. Is this just about confirming I actually have a degree or are they actually going to look at my grades?

If it’s Gibson they’ll look at your grades and then ask for your LSAT! (Semi joking 😂)

My LSAT is way more impressive than my transcript and my work product.

I’m a first year and fucked up big time. The client doesn’t know about this but a senior associate was furious. I know it’s 100% my fault but no one above me actually reviewed my work bc everyone was so busy. But then I found out the senior gave a rant about how I fucked up to another colleague. When I apologized to him, he was really salty. Since then, my heart drops every time I see his email bc I’m too scared. He is usually pretty emotional and his instructions are vague, which doesn’t help.

When (if ever) would you say something to a rude partner? There’s on I actually like in personal settings and he was great at work at first, but he’s a complete prick now. He doesn’t yell, but everything he says is dripping with contempt lately. Others have the same experience. I haven’t made any major mistakes, but he acts like whatever I say is the dumbest thing he’s ever heard. I also can’t finish a thought since he’s constantly interrupting. I feel like asking if he needs a hug.
