[quote=Anonymous]look, maybe all the PPs are right and this isn't fixable.  but if you're actually happy where you are, you should try to fix it.  Hustle for work, bring up the hours, do excellent work.   they brought you in as a second year; unless you have actively pissed someone off, it seems unlikely they're going to fire you tomorrow, even if they have no intention of seriously considering you for partner promotion down the line.  And you probably don't want to leave after less than a year, for fear of creating the impression that something went horribly wrong.  (which it didn't; this isn't failure; this is them not seeing you as future rainmaker or serious partner material. Most people in BigLaw are smart and diligent and zealous; most still don't make partner.)  I wouldn't kill yourself trying to make this guy like you, but if you LIKE your job and it pays good money, I see no reason not to try to keep it.

So, my impression would be that you should do what you can to fix the impression that this guy has of you.  But unless you start hearing something very different, start looking after you have been there a year or so.  There may indeed be a better fit for you out there.  In the meantime, keep networking.[/quote]
