[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but I call BS. No ninth year associate who is told she was going to make partner walks away. You’re not going anywhere. At least not yet. You may be fooling yourself, and you may be fooling DCUM but you’re not fooling this lawyer. [/quote] I wonder if you’re more junior than OP and me (I’m an 8th year). I have known several lawyers in biglaw (all women) who left exactly when the firm told them they were a shoe-in for partner. Despite the firm asking them to reconsider. And I know this not just from the departing lawyer’s perspective but also the firm’s, corroborating that they were almost certainly going to make partner if they hadn’t left. I also know a few who left after only being partner 1-2 years. More junior people don’t think partnership by inertia is real but it definitely is. [/quote]
