What would you do? I just found out my firm is going to promote 2 people in my year/practice group, but not me. They plan to promote me to NSP the following year. I’m confident I’m not getting fired, but they also paid these two people more than me last year. I have been practicing for longer than both of them. Obviously I’m pissed. To add salt to the wound, one of them is a foul person who has made derogatory comments about the disabled (which I am).

Comparison is the thief of joy. Promotion next year doesn’t sound that bad in a vacuum — are you otherwise happy at your firm? Do you generally like the people you work with, do you like the work you get, is the culture good, etc.?
If you’re happy and paid well enough, it shouldn’t matter that others are getting promoted ahead of you. Stick with it and it’ll shake out how it should.
If you’re not happy, it also shouldn’t matter that others are getting promoted at a stinky firm you don’t wanna be at anyway. Start applying to get out of there.

Are there any other variables in play? Do they work more hours, bring in more work, have better relationships with partners or firm management, etc?

Wait it out - get promoted and then move with the partner title.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?
