I'm in a group where I get great reviews each year and earn praise from clients, but partners don't invest much in me or let me work on the "good" deals (I always get the scraps). I'm also the only black attorney in my group, which may or may not be relevant. I doubt I have a chance of making equity partner, though I also don't want to. If you were me, would you go to a competitor just to stick it to people here? Or mail it in, shoot for a NEP/counsel-type gig, collect paychecks, and coast?

Coast if all you want is a steady paycheck so you can live your life how you want to. Leave for a competitor if you want more out of your career, I think I would leave just for more respect honestly.

Has anyone ever tried negotiating a pro-rated bonus prior to leaving for a federal clerkship (i.e., where you leave a month or two before the end of the billable year)? I’m figuring it’s a no-go and, if anything, the firm would prefer to negotiate that into the package upon return from the clerkship (along with any clerkship bonus, etc), but wondering if it would be worth bringing up before I leave. Thanks in advance!
