[quote=Anonymous]OP, I lateraled (more senior than you) about a year in and heard through the grapevine that there wasn't a "place" for me at my firm either. I tried to power through, billed a ton, worked my ass off, tried to impress the right people, networked, put in face time, yada, yada, yada and it did not work. It just delayed the inevitable. These places make up their minds really quickly about people and if there's a hiccup, it never goes away. I think you should verify what your friend said (if possible) and start looking. Do it now - it only gets harder when you are more senior. (I'm in the process of looking right now and it SUCKS!) One other thing, as a lateral, I found it extremely hard to fit in. The rainmakers in the group had favorites that they picked out years ago. Not summering at the firm was a huge disadvantage for me. I was never going to build the kind of relationships that others who summered were able to build. [/quote]
