~1.1-1.2 M.

Around $1MM. Probably depends on practice area. I’m M&A.

1.2 I think I did. It’s really not that hard. The challenge is growing it. (I’m corporate)

It really depends on the area of law, size of firm, etc.

1.5 in corporate. Large firm.

I learned the hard way that if you are at a big firm your book is probably smaller than you think it is. I am at a low amlaw100 firm and as a 2nd year partner my book is about $900k. Its been hard to get there though and basically started at zero when I lateraled from another big firm.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
