[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The core issue here is being held back, I find that much more worrisome for the OP than her contributions to society or her childcare arrangements, though. [/quote] +1 - didn't see OP's later question about firms that ask to push/hold you back a year. At my firm, this is usually only done if an associate has been slacking for a [u]few[/u] years (the typical penalty for not meeting hours is no bonus) and it is an indication that you either need to bust your ass or start considering alternatives (for many people, it makes them discouraged or angry enough to leave, or convinces them to ask for a reduced hours or off-track arrangement). [b]If it happened following a year you were either pregnant or took parental leave, and you have an otherwise stellar record, then the problem isn't the difficulty handling biglaw v. parenting. The problem is your law firm. [/b] Lateral somewhere more supportive if you want to stay in biglaw.[/quote]
