I worked for a few years with big name companies in the manufacturing space before law school and had great exposure to professional, respectful and collegial work environments with good camaraderie before becoming a lawyer. I'm now a 2nd year associate in a small firm and have a hard time processing feedback from a partner (early 30s). I find myself apologizing daily for the littlest things with her berating me for things like having a double space between two words (justify function in word).

A company was pretty aggressively recruiting me until 4 interviews in — no movement. I haven’t heard back in a week and a half about next steps. Should I assume I won’t be moving forward any longer?
