Also depends on how burned out you are- if the fear of shitcanning isn't enough to motivate you and you have nothing else to work for (paying off loans, family expenses), there may be no coming back.

When I first joined my current firm, I told the partner, "I forgot to align the footnotes properly." (They were aligned left instead of justified.) At my old BigLaw firm, I would have been yelled at and forced to send an apology email and a revised version. This partner was just like, "Is that it? Don't worry about it. It is just a draft."
