Received a nasty email last night from a partner blaming me for a mistake that turned out not to have been my responsibility and was in fact her own oversight. I’ve learned she’s the kind of partner that tries to shift blame on to everyone but herself, especially on deals, and blames her juniors for the results of her own poor management and training skills. Accepted an offer this morning for $25k more than I make now with a firm that actually invests in its associates. Can’t wait to start.

Happy for you, that’s awesome!!! I cannot express enough how awful it is not having helpful understanding mentorship. I do not, and will never understand why firms don’t see the value in it. It would lead to much better work product and productivity it’s insane to me.
