[quote=Anonymous]To make partner, you need to attract and keep business. This is not simply about working long hours and producing good briefs. This is where the socialization, networking, and "sell" personality come in. It seems to me that you are going out of your way to justify how different you are from what you perceive typical big law partners to be (which is grossly monolithic, BTW). OP, do you even want to make partner? Maybe you'd be better in house, where you don't have to deal with bringing in new business. Maybe you'd be happiest being of counsel, so you can still earn a very decent salary, but can forego all the social trappings that make you so uncomfortable. Partnership in big law isn't for everyone. It does take a certain amount of willingness and drive to understand clients on multiple levels, which it seems that you do not have.[/quote]
