[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yup. I ran into this in big-law. I was a lateral brought in right before making partner. A junior partner right above me spent the entire time I was there (4 months) trying to drum me out.

I sniffed what was happening and immediately landed an in-house job. It was incredibly stressful, but I am all the better for it.

The firm was annoyed about my decision, but truthfully, it was painfully obvious why I left. They just wouldn't deal with that partner so it signaled that they weren't invested in my career.

So, basically the junior partner got you booted? Not sure this is the shining example OP needs.[/quote]

That's me. I ended up in a massively better position in house. I currently manage outside counsel (I used to manage that old firm but cut ties). I am doing really well, have a great work life balance and when I think of that terrible woman, I feel pity. Because people will try to bring you down, but you can't let them OP.

The firm was annoyed with my decision to leave, but shut up when it was announced I was going in house. I pretty much pretend the entire experience never happened.[/quote]
