Most non-attorneys and law school applicants forget that having the name of a BIGLAW on your resume opens many doors. Associates with at least 3 years at BIGLAW can pretty much write their ticket to any boutique.
Most of us knew upon entering BIGLAW that we wouldn't make partner. Making partner was simply icing on the cake, but it wasn't a reality to us. Sadly there are some naive associates who feel that a partnership track is in their direct control.
Nonetheless, I'm an ex-BIGLAW associate who is quite happy with her current career. Your life isn't over if you don't make partner. I think a lot of attorneys are forgetting this. If you can even make it to BIGLAW, you are in good shape. So fear not BIGLAW associate, you will be okay.
