Any thoughts on how long you need to be a partner before you start making substantially more than you make as counsel?

Comp at partner depends on your numbers, not time. It will take however long it takes you to generate the numbers needed for substantially higher comp at your firm. So that’s what you should be asking - “what numbers do I need to make X comp at my firm?” Only people at your firm can answer that. Then you can decide for yourself how long it’ll take you personally to get those numbers.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
