[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I would be happy to be a "senior attorney" or whatever it is when you kind of stay at the law firm forever as a senior associate at this point.[/quote]

You have completely out of whack expectations about your career. Even "counsel" or senior associate spots are incredibly difficult to get and maintain. Firms are firing these ranks to protect rainmakers, OP.

OP, you are definitely and completely resentful. And some of it is understandable, but what isn't is that you seem to take no ownership of your contribution to the issue. Your husband is not as stable an earner as you'd like or you think you'd be in left in the breadwinner role. That is a lot there, OP. Like I said, therapy can do wonders for dealing with resentment regardless of where you end up. GL[/quote]

I understand about those titles. I think I could have had one at my old firm, where I was a well-liked and respected associate, always earning excellent reviews, top bonuses, etc. I worked in top law firms in for a long time and I understand the market and my role in it. I am not saying just anyone could get that job; I am saying I could have. [/quote]
