[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on your OP if you don’t make partner it will be for being too [b]aspie[/b], which caused you to make a post like this, vs the way you live. I’ve been practicing law over a decade and for 90% of my colleagues, I have no idea what their living situation is like. They could all live in shoebox studios for all I know. [/quote]
I was thinking that, but I don't know. My husband and son are Aspie. They wouldn't think of asking a question like this. I almost feel like this thread is aspirational and there's no way OP is close to making partner. Whatever the reason for OP's aggressive frugality, it certainly grates on posters on DCUM, so it will grate on OP's colleagues in real life. Bottom line, how much better is your work compared to someone who is more normal? [/quote]
A lot of aspie people, in my experience, catalogue the choices of the people around them like OP is doing and then compare to their choices. A sort of informed masking. [/quote]
NP and I agree.  For OP, I think the key is to break "lifestyle" (which I think the partnership affords, not vice versa) apart from "culture/fit" - which varies somewhat between firms, but either way, which OP is struggling to put their finger on, and could use help to identify.  [/quote]
