I’d also think through what you can offload to graphics and BCN on a more ad hoc basis (if you can’t get surge resources)

Your LT is taking advantage of you, and they know exactly what they’re doing. It has a straightforward (but difficult for many) fix:

You and the team need to learn to say no: no to partners / LT and no to clients. (This is also how you earn respect and get attention).

I understand this can be a daunting task. Discuss it with your team and go to your partner together if it makes you all more comfortable.

How did you transition from poor M to Partner?
I’m personally someone who used to be a great M / Jr Principal transitioning to a totally overwhelmed OVP that’s never gonna get promoted ...

What is a “LT”

Leadership team

Survive until the end of the project then avoid being staffed on those projects. Find your ‘clique’/‘tribe’ of Partners that you can align to.

I couldn’t disagree more. “Survive” is the mentality that might (painfully) get you to SC/M, but it won’t make you successful at the firm. Push back, earn respect, and drive positive change for your peers and teams: this is what brings success.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
