So what do the people who got kicked out usually do next?legends159 wrote:usually 8 if you're good as in you bill much more than your peers during the years you come up for review and you're able to bring in clients or secure existing clients.
otherwise you'll probably be forced out before you reach year 8
i'm just picturing a big law partner taking someone's sheet listing their billables like "what!? I'm an aduuuuuuult! So i threw that sheet on the groooooound! clean out your offiiiiiice!' (only funny if you watch snl)legends159 wrote:if you work for a big law firm usually you'll have many headhunters calling you offering you jobs at other firms. So you'll have stuff lined up. People who did leave usually left voluntarily cause they knew they weren't on the partner track. at least that was the case before the mass layoffs.
now you'll probably just get laid off cause firms don't give a shit.
