I am on partnership track. However a few partners I work with started to act kind of cold lately. It is hard to put it on words. But this is getting harder as it hurts my feelings. I sort of feel left alone. It is like I am in a war to get what I want. Has anyone gone through similar experience during their partnership track? Any suggestions?

Try to consider whether it is really about you. Remember that they might have a lot going on, so it might not be intentional towards you. I used to feel like this sometimes only to later realize the way they were acting wasn’t about me. It could be about a particularly challenging matter or client they are dealing with at the moment.

Without additional context, it's difficult to answer. A partnership track at Kirkland is different than a partnership track at a regional mid-size firm, and so is the culture. Whenever I've been through rough patches with people, I just focused on the work and generating business, and that seemed to help. At the end of the day, these are not my friends. They'll love me if I do lots of good work and pull business. They won't if I don't.

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?
