If you can explain the reason why you’re wanting to move easily and it’s not a pattern of job hopping it won’t matter, but once it appears like a pattern it can cause some hiring partners to pass on a candidate.

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.
