The above isn’t really relevant to me though. I’m lucky enough to be in a white shoe form which pays cravath, but I’m also ultimately a yellow-skinned asian who will never make partner in my current firm. I’m exiting the ladder at year 8 like the rest, and partnership isn’t my end game. Just thought I’d share what I know.
