Are there any other passions in your life (career wise)? I have followed your threads, and it seems like you need to move past your current job. It seems like you are going no where fast.

This is the new normal outside of the few remaining up or out firms. It is particularly prevalent in lit. It is also growing as more senior associates stay on.

10 years ago there were no 10+ year associates. Now and in the future, there will be a lot. Why hire a fresh out of school first year who can't do shit and who clients won't pay for when you have a competent 12th year associate who can do the work well twice as fast?

Firms are also tired of promoting senior associates to service partner or of counsel positions. Easier to keep them on and freeze their pay.

CP. Just another way boomers are f-ing us over. When I started at my BigLaw job, the managing partner introduced himself, and he said the following about being available:

"When I was an associate, the law firms negotiating a deal would mail documents back and forth. We would send it, and then we would wait a day or two for a response. Now, you all are fortunate to have e-mail and Microsoft Word. Before beepers, we would have a call in service or wait until the next day to respond to messages. Now, you all are fortunate to have Blackberries. Things should be easier for you guys now."

Yea, most of the partners at my firm are in line with your statement. This MP was out of touch. He was some rain maker and does not really do any legal work anymore.

its a blessing and a curse. more of a curse. but in nyc biglaw, if a deal was on you had to be able to get to the office, so weekends were tough. people just showed up for work on saturday like any other day. you were also supposed to call in and check voicemail all the time. and document production and blacklining was so slow that you had to be super careful the first time--no typos.

OK i changed my mind.

Youd get slaughtered in PA, just stay where you are grinding out briefs until you get sacrificed. It sounds like you can hang on for a while and you dont want to move anyway.

congrats and good luck to you. i'm sure you know, but remember that the first 3 weeks and first 3 months are huge in shaping how new people perceive you. focus up now and it will pay dividends later.
