Sounds like the time to create/double down on your boundaries and advocate for yourself. Your career is a 2 way street, if you are not getting what you need there then you are no longer in alignment. Find that alignment elsewhere where you will be valued and paid your worth.

Maybe I’m not understanding. The pay thing I get. Should maybe negotiate for that or “take your talents to South Beach.” That said, every firm is different but in many biglaw firms you’re an Associate for 5-6 years before you’re even *considered* for a title bump to Senior Counsel, with increasing responsibilities as you progress from a junior to mid-level, to senior (and often those are descriptors, not formal titles). And don’t get me started on the “bump” to non-equity partner.

At the end of the day, we are all replaceable billing units. That’s the business we are in and we make more than most professions on average. That said, it is very hard to find reliable talent, so if you are truly indispensable, you should get a bonus and be on track for partner. Otherwise, leave ASAP because there are plenty of firms that will pay you reasonably well to produce reliable work while generating a lot of income.

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids.
