I would keep letting them know of availability. And try to grab a coffee or otherwise connect. It's hard to say what's behind it. Could be they don't have the work, or aren't a delegator, or aren't comfortable yet in the group where they feel they have proven themselves and feel they can delegate. Who knows. Grabbing a coffee might give you more insight. Just keep at it. I would save the blunt message for when you're desperate for hours.
Depending on the situation, the senior might not feel like she can dictate who gets staffed on her cases yet, especially if she recently latereled and is still figuring out the lay of the land. There are client demands regarding who bills on cases and other things going on behind the scenes that may stay her hand. Maybe ask a little more about what she's doing and who she is working with (partner, other associates), and you might learn a little more.
Get work from partner
Give up and move on. Take a hint.
Have you worked for her before and are you sure she's able to do her own staffing? My partner lets me staff 90% of the time but a lot of firms work differently. She might already have a team she knows is reliable (or you may have signaled to her that you're not in some way).
It sounds like she already knows they work well and staffing new people is always a wildcard. The working style has to fit and I pass on juniors all the time because I know they're not going to work well with me. They're not going to like it. They're not going to do things the way we need them done to keep the partner and client happy, etc. and even if that's not the case, I already have someone and when a partner sees a team performing well, they tend to expect that will continue to be the staffing unless someone's not available.
If you're getting good reviews from other people, I'd just stick with that. An opportunity will probably come up sooner or later.
Is there a reason you want to work with this particular senior?? Seems like it might not be advantageous to you.
Thanks all! This is transactional work. We are in the same practice area. She totally gets to staff since she’s the most senior in her deals. She staffed others in my class year. I had coffee multiple times. She said to me there’s something going on I might be able to staff you for many times but then nothing afterwards and I feel uncomfortable following up too may times if that’s the pattern to avoid giving her pressure. I do good work with good reviews.
Only ask partners for work unless specified otherwise.
What year are you
The suggestion is a good one. You can soften it by framing. Something like: “I’d love to work with you if it’s possible. Is there anything I can do to make it work?” All the reasons people said in response may be valid. There was senior I said that to for three years. It took four years until there was something that made sense and we now do quite some things together.
