Personally, I've never seen this to be an issue. Having worked in a few legal settings over the last 5 years (whether that be international firms, magic circle firms, and even in-house institutions), I have had the chance to work with people who sound nothing like me e.g. Vietnamese accent, French accent, Indian accents etc. During my time at these places, they were never written out of anything and took on managerial or senior positions. I too myself have a little bit of a Yorkshire accent.Of course, I've been in spaces where I wanted to tone it down, but as you progress in the industry, you realise that you're in that room because you're meant to be. And the same will be the case for the both of you. Don't let these comparisons make you feel any less than, acknowledge the fact that you've accomplished and are capable of so much, and remind yourself that you earned your place there just like everyone else.</blockquote>
