Feeling disillusioned - 3PQE

I really do enjoy my role. I’m extremely good at it and in my current firm have become a “go to” for more technical niche issues in our sector which in itself is fine…

I’m really struggling with the lack of mentorship and learning opportunities. I learn on the go but primarily from seeking out opportunities and webinars etc regularly and even though my partners have been in field a long time, they admit they aren’t academically inclined and joke that “you probably know than we do” which is just disheartening.

I’m only 30 and 3PQE and I’m desperate to work with someone more senior and passionate. My old Partner and mentor was excellent but has since pivoted out of the legal sector entirely and into tax instead which isn’t exactly what I want to do although the door is always open.

I’ve been offered roles in other firms but there’s no guarantee the senior team will be any different there. We just hired a new partner and my first meeting with them had me explaining basic elements of our work which has made me feel even worse about the whole situation.

I don’t know what I’m looking for in posting this but people in my life aren’t lawyers so really don’t understand as I get paid well and I’m comfortable but I LIKE my job, I want to excel in it and progress, I don’t want to do whatever this is for the next 30 years.

Rant over.
