I just made NEP and am beginning to think it was a mistake. I like doing the lawyer work. I’m no good at all this other stuff. Have you ever heard of someone asking to be returned to counsel after making partner? Is that a sure fire way to make myself first out the door when things slow down?

I think most firms make you partner just before you are really ready, so give it time. If you were already doing all the other things and not a partner, you’d be gone.

It’s frightening at the beginning and overwhelming. In time one looks back and realizes that it was daunting but not insurmountable - you’ll learn the ropes with time and it’s part of the process.

First off, congratulations. It might seem that way at first but it does give you credibility in the market and help you develop your own book. It took me several years but able to make the jump to EP

I feel the same way two years in as a junior partner at a one-tier shop (mostly because I am super slow this week). I think everyone struggles for a while but when I take a step back, it seems more like imposter syndrome than a real desire to go back to counsel.

What’s the other stuff you’re talking about?

I would suggest giving it a go for 1 year and then re-evaluate whether you still feel the same. (I suspect you’ll grow into the job. )

We've had partners (I think choose to) move to a counsel position because they only want to bill, but even then, it took several years for them to make that move. I've also seen many partners just stick around as NEP and ignore the BD aspects. In short, agree with others to give it more time and allow yourself to mold your practice into what works for you and deal with title when it comes up.

Never tell your wife to calm down. That won’t go well for you.

Instead, turn it into a question like “does someone need a time out?” Much less confrontational that way.

I hope there is some scam going on in the name of Fujitsu India consulting.
Last week I got selected and they collected documents after week they rejected saying high expectations. Earlier they accepted for same salary hike.

Same happened for my friend today. He also got selected and they collected all the acedemic , previous company documents salary slips and they rejected him saying same.

They could have told the same when they ask for salary expectations. I feel something fishy.
