[quote=Anonymous]Sympathies OP. I was you 20 years or so ago. (Never actually asked to leave but turned down for partnership and given ridiculous set of what I would need to do for partnership to be realistic). I was able to make a move from my BigLaw firm to a small firm in my practice area and have had a great career here. Don't focus on how you were wronged (sure you were, but it won't help you to dwell on it). Network like crazy. I got my next job by reaching out to co-counsel who were in my practice area and got an offer from multiple firms. Make it seem like you are looking to leave, not that you have to. Good luck! (Also, my firm now also does the long runway approach to getting rid of associates who should leave for performance or workload reasons. If you have trouble getting traction in your job search I would ask for another 30 days). [/quote]
