Emailed a partner requesting informal feedback on my performance on a deal but haven’t heard back. What could this mean? Trying not to read into it too much, but is this something associates usually ask or did I make things awkward / could they be avoiding the email because feedback wouldn’t be good? I’ll note that I worked more closely with the senior associate on the deal, but wanted to get the partners opinion too.
