1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I totally understand that these M&A matters can create issues for you since transactional experience is quite important (in any practice area). See if you can consider joining non tier 1 firms who are looking to expand. There are quite a few of them and will be happy to get someone so experienced.
You have these choices:
1. You suck it up, I don't think they will make your partner anytime soon and will keep you hanging. You will have to take up non-specialised work to make up for the Senior Partners' revenue shortfall. Somehow show your mettle there and play hardball to extract partnership.
2. If you have to move: you can either go to one of the B&F Tier 1s/ or lower Tiers/Banks/Financial Institutions In-House Positions
