I made partner, and now the job is bringing in business and riding herd on associates. I was built for litigation, for the fight itself, the part where everything's on the line and I'm the one standing up. Now I sell and I manage and I watch younger lawyers do the thing I was born to do, and I can feel myself rusting.
More people experience this than they realize.
You made partner and now sell and manage instead of doing the litigation you were built for.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
