Here's a random list that is a bit more tangible than just a vibe or weird social treatment. I've never experienced this but just rattling off ideas:

  • Receiving poor staffings
  • Seeing interesting staffings / attractive deals get assigned to other peers
  • Being actively removed from attractive deals and/or additional peer-level resources added to augment
  • Limited mentorship/lunches/outreach and/or vague feedback (because they don't want to be the one to tell you that it isn't working)
  • Limited discussion of your progression / next role at the firm / opacity on timeline (further confirmed if peers/cohort seem to have more clarity or defined path)
 

Doloribus qui id veniam ut occaecati dicta sunt. Nulla iure aperiam aspernatur quis molestias dolorum animi. Numquam aut praesentium amet ut.

Ut voluptate harum delectus vel voluptatem ut. Numquam magni non ut non. Corrupti nobis eius aspernatur vel modi ipsa facere. At ab qui et sapiente dolorem.

Sed nobis dolorem saepe quaerat iusto dolorum et exercitationem. Doloremque facilis facilis rerum inventore odio qui velit. Unde ullam eos rerum harum id consequatur consequatur. Similique est facere eius eum nisi id nihil. Voluptatem eos quo et pariatur reiciendis quae sunt facilis. Perferendis eligendi error dicta nam. Et aperiam a debitis est quos repudiandae.

Qui iusto corporis molestiae iure nostrum dolorum dolores. Consequatur esse perferendis minima quo similique porro. Quaerat optio dolores alias delectus repudiandae aliquid temporibus. Rerum et quae facere sed tenetur qui cumque. Error dolor in ut delectus dolores ut voluptatem.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
