Any insight on how the Paul, Weiss new two-tier partnership has been / is being implemented? Their Counsel tier seems quite senior compared with some firms so is the idea to transition a load of Counsels to NEP or is there a more formal, selective process?

My understanding is that it's super early stages of rollout and that for now it's only being used for laterals that they essentially couldn't get if they offer counsel and maybe don't justify equity yet. I'm sure it'll change a lot over time

like

Counsel get paid so much there (more than a lot of NEPs) that it’s just a change in name. Don’t know what they’ll do to current counsels but can’t imagine existing counsel would be treated any worse off than a commensurate x year NEP

like

My guess is they keep the counsel where they are. It’ll be like Latham.

like

IIRC their counsel are sorted (based on seniority, performance, etc.) into three separate bands, with the highest band's TC maxing out around $750k. NEP tend to make a little bit more (but less than an equity partner) with a defined "look" towards when they'll be put up for equity.

I think going forward they'll bifurcate career counsel from folks on the equity track, with NEP giving a more defined path for folks gunning for equity.

like

That max is not correct. I know several counsel making over $1 million at PW.

I might have a spending problem. I don’t think (?)

I get a dopamine hit when I find a good deal and I’m wondering if it’s going too far. I can pay my bills, but I’m wasting a lot of $$ on things I don’t need. I have multiple family members who are/were addicts and hoarders and my own behavior is making me nervous. Any other big shoppers out there?

Partners: I’m a sr. associate managing multiple cases without a whole lot of oversight. A few of the cases I am managing are very large, very fast, and very contentious. I try to be as immersed in the details as I can, but can’t know everything. I rely on others to give me accurate and actionable facts. Lately, the actions I have been taking have been based on wrong, inaccurate, or incomplete info. I then get reamed in M&Cs and look like an idiot. [Cont. in comments]

Should I decline to pursue the opportunity just so I have a longer track record at my current firm? This will be my 4th if I move.

First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
