This is just a post to spread some positivity. You can do anything you set your mind to. I failed my first attempt at the bar, was a stealth layoff in my first yr at a V100 firm. I lateraled to a V50. There, my 4th year I billed 2.4K hours and somehow still got mixed reviews and docked on my bonus . I questioned my skills and abilities. My self confidence hit rock bottom. Lateraled to a V5 firm. Just got annual review. Proud to say that all 5 partners said I’m stellar and have partner potential.
