Growth trajectory is probably the most impressive at scale of any firm. Numbers are insane going back a long time.

Up or not sort of depends on the group and is very nuanced I’d say.

Promotion time frame also varies. I would say it’s slower than other firms, plan for 3ish years between levels depending on the group

What group are you looking at? The firm is growing but each group is run like a separate business and has a different trajectory.

In terms of promos, A&M has no standard timeline and you can stay at any position forever if you like. I’ve seen people make the same jump in 1yr and 5yrs.

$325k TC at MBB in a non-generalist (still partner track) path. Love the intellectual variety, smart colleagues, flexibility (WFH has let me take occasional 2-3h windows during the day for personal activities) - can’t take the stress anymore. Are WFH industry roles at the $300-500k TC level really that much less stressful?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
