Just venting… I left my last firm after 18 months because I was not getting the experience I needed to grow as an attorney (taking depositions, going to court, etc.). Well, the partner I used to work with got a new junior associate, and guess who has already argued a motion in court within their first month? Yep. And yes, the new junior is a male (with less experience than me, might I add).

Unfortunately, that still happens often. Not sure if it’s intentional or unintentional. If anything, this would reaffirm that I’ve made the right decision to leave. And I guarantee that if you were still at the old firm and brought this up, they would find some excuse how he showed more potential, was more ready, or some other excuse (which is rarely valid).

I just left my government job for that exact reason!

Just a different perspective, perhaps they heard your feedback and have adjusted to make sure the next associate doesn’t leave for the same reason.

Yeah I think this is fair. It's kind of like how you leave your ex for being a jerk and he treats his next gf much better. Could be because he likes her more but also he probably learned a bit from his mistakes too

At least two women who 100% should be making partner this year in one of our practice groups are being held back at my firm. A less experienced man is leapfrogging them straight to partner after working here for less time (previously fired for not passing the bar and boomeranged back).

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
Over the last year EB and RM have become increasingly larger parts of our team’s work, but it’s not part of the marketing commercial targets (just helping recruitment meet their targets). Are they completely separate in your company? Or part of the team and if so how?

Where can I find mock presentations or samples ??
