My partner, who’s a med-school student (M1), literally walked into our home office, looked at the slides I’ve been working on for the last week, laughed, and goes “really impacting the world with those coloured boxes that haven’t changed since last week” and walked away😓

To be fair to you, a med student hasn’t impacted the world either. Still plenty of time for them to have a mental breakdown and drop out

Yeah. They can choose to join McKinsey instead and help push opioids or increase kidney disease.

Sounds like a toxic relationship. In all seriousness, comments like that will continue to get worse and worse. He thinks his career is important and yours isn’t. There will always that sense of superiority and it’ll bleed into every action and interaction you have.

Amazon 1 toxic assuming a "partner" med student has to be a man... Sad

There are two common factors among nearly all med students and Doctors:
1) god complex
2) very little knowledge or appreciation of any topic outside of medicine

SO stares at me then walks away.

Ok need some advice-I’ve been at my firm for 8 months supporting the same attorney since day 1. About 3 weeks ago a new associate started and I’m her main support also.

For reference we are in a suburb of Syracuse, NY, we represent school districts and my salary is $42,000/yr. Any tips would be awesome!!
