Current non-equity partner here. Up for equity this year. Had a good year. Concerned that my firm will either forgo giving me a bonus or give me a lower bonus than I deserve in exchange for possibly giving me equity (which might not even result in an immediate raise). Thoughts?

Got squeezed in comp both the first year of non-equity and the first year of equity. Rite of passage type feel at the time and you’re not in much position to object, if you want the promotion. Did well on the other side of each.

Get the equity slot if you can—that will more than make up for the year-end money long-term.
