Advice regarding following up multiple times with lead partner about a position in his practice group? I have been in contact with the firms recruiting director as well as 4 of the firms partners. The lead partner and I were supposed to connect a few weeks back but we were never able to. My issue is that I've already essentially followed up twice. Am I overthinking it now that a few weeks have passed or
should I contact recruiting or another partner to help facilitate things?

So so tired of always being the odd one out. My firm isn't even bad or anything I'm literally just exhausted from constant code-switching and never seeing a face like mine in the office unless they're a client. Seriously considering looking for somewhere with leadership that is significantly more diverse. I don't have any proof but I feel like my success will be firmly capped here and I'll never have a shot at making partner.

I’m a 1styear, and there’s one other junior associate of color in my group.

I can’t help but think it’s because we’re the only two black juniors. I was granting her grace because my mom accidentally calls me my sisters name and stuff, I get that it happens.
