I’m confused on how you have correlated reporting directly to a hands off partner and switching to the big 4. If you want to move to a larger firm, you should do it and not search for a justification.
I agree with others who say this is a huge opportunity to learn rather than the opposite. Dig in and do as much as you can on your own and then discuss with the partner. Explain what you did and why and ask for his or her opinion and review comments. You are skipping all the levels in between and learning directly from the one with all of the experience. Use that to your advantage.
I’m slightly confused how are you a first year senior and not learning much? He may not be teaching you but I assume you don’t know all these things? Are you using research tools to look up and have positions on your issues? That would allow you to have more questions for him and likely force him to engage..
If partner is very hands off, it presents an opportunity or you to take a stab at pretty much everything, then schedule time with them to go over a ton of detailed questions that you can work through together. Document what you tried, why, what made sense to you, etc. Or even ask if they will live review everything at once with you so you get instant feedback and see how their mind works. I did this with a director and it worked out once.
This was my situation when I came to my firm a few years ago. It's an amazing opportunity as when you do interact as you're talking to someone with 20-30 years of experience on you and you can start trying to follow their though process through situations. They may be hands off but push them to guide you by popping into their office for instructions or guidance.
Try switching clients first
The partner wont let me
Tell the partner you need more guidance. Maybe they can pair you with a manager or senior manager for your questions
Uh do you have any managers on the job?
No managers
