Anyone know what the difference in pay is likely to be in TX mid market for a mid/senior Associate compared against market scale big law (thinking like Winstead, Munsch, Gray Reed, maybe Jackson Walker though not sure if that is mid market)? What about hours, expectations, benefits fringe or otherwise, etc.?

A fourth year at one of those firms is going to be at around $210-220 base. Will prob take home about 50-60k in bonus if they stay around 2000-2100 hours.

The pay difference between Biglaw and the Texas middle market starts to become pronounced as a mid-level and gets larger from there on.

Source: I am a mid at one of those firms.

These "biglaw" firms are not in same ballpark for comp

Agree generally but Winstead raised comp in 2022 and should be more competitive. Munsch has 1800 hour requirement which is worth something.

I’m a 4th and I get 210k if that helps.

Making shareholder at one of those firms is going to be significantly easier than biglaw. Those mid market firms are the sweet spot for mid level associates in my opinion.
