I’m a mid-forties female in Biglaw in NYC. I’ve been a non-equity partner for years and just feel sort of invisible. Like I’m not one of the stars or a rising rainmaker and deep down think I’m mostly glorified counsel with only a few of my own clients. I make a very good living for the broader world but feel sort of behind and dumb in Biglaw. I’m starting to hate myself. Don’t feel like I’d ever be good at anything. Feel trapped because of the money in some respects though I do have about $2.5m or so invested at this point. Any insight or support would be deeply appreciated.
EDIT: the $2.5m invested includes about half in retirement savings that can’t be touched until the required age.
