If you trained with the firm, ur position is probably more secure as you prob already have a cachet of trust with the bosses for them to want to retain u in the first place. If you're a lateral hire you're a bit on shaky ground in this climate. You have to be shameless in soliciting for work esp with WFH. Out of sight means out of mind, and the partners will trim the low profile assoc first if they need to cut people
