It is so damn frustrating dealing with someone like my boyfriend who is insensitive & doesn't try to understand my frustrations or how I feel about anything regarding my job at all. He said im always mad about work and that when I get upset , it makes him reconsider the relationship. He also said its frustrating being around me when im upset or bothered about work. He just gives other people like my Supervisor who is a big time manipulator the benefit of the doubt. He's a true idiot

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
