[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve only read a few responses, I can’t say OP is an aspie BUT she does seem to have some sort of disconnect going on.

OP—has anyone at your firm actually discussed you making partner with you? That’s the surest indicator, not the car you drive. I get the impression you’re pretty senior and you think that because you are an independent worker and bill lots of hours, you’ll magically become a partner. My husband is a practice group leader and puts ppl up for partner every year, and the things you list in the OP are not considerations. But, none of the ppl he’s put up/ or ones he didn’t put up would make a post like this because they have an open dialogue about career prospects and everyone know where they stand.[/quote]

IME most firms will eventually make you a service partner/non-equity if you bill a ton of ours and are good in your field but can't develop work on your own. But depending on how OP interacts with others at the firm, they may not even know he/she is interested. [/quote]
