My hours are low and work hasn’t been flowing my way (just a few projects, but nothing major or promises of work that don’t materialize). I keep feeling like my firm is phasing me out, but I kind of always have this lingering concern at the back of my mind.

I am an SA1 in the UK, 3 years in the firm. In the UK there’s a threat of losing your job if you fail your cpa equivalent exams twice.

I have also been constantly working busy seasons (dec, march, june, and sept year end) and I it is pretty taxing.

Has a partner ever come back and asked you why you spent so much time on certain things? Im a first year and this hasn’t happened to me at my firm and they tell us not to cut our own time, but my first firm (short stint, small firm) did this to me allll the time and made me feel guilty — so just curious if this has happened to anyone in big law.
