We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
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
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.
