[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since there seem to be senior attys on this thread -- I was "partner track" in biglaw (litigation) according to what they were telling me, didn't make it, was told I will never make it no matter what, and am struggling to find a job now -- as I'm too senior for other firms, gov't/inhouse hiring is terrible etc.

I find myself looking at those who are junior partners -- 2 to 10 yrs ahead of me and being insanely jealous, as I don't think they bring much more to the table than me and yet the firm chose to make ALL of them partner and stop making new ones when I came along, despite years of long hours, dedication, top reviews etc. All I can think is that these people are set and will make millions and I'm going to bounce around my whole life. Little good the last 10 yrs or my top degrees did for me. Any thoughts on getting over the bitterness and resentment in the face of failing at my goal and now being rejected 100s of times for other jobs?[/quote]

Have you been told to find a new job either directly or indirectly?  It seems to me that more people are remaining at firms after not making partner (i.e., they become permanent counsels, etc.).[/quote]
