All partners are equity. Alternative is senior counsel and definitely not up or out. Foley is the type of firm that wants attorneys to stick around

Sure.

Not up or out you can stay senior counsel forever there.

Anyone have any insight on how the salary ranges work at @Lockheed Martin?

On new job postings, I often see rather large compensation ranges and I'm trying to figure out a good rule of thumb as far as how that translates to actual compensation.

For example, say a job posting has a salary range is from 74k - 125k. What would you expect to be initially offered, and how flexible are negotiations within that scale?

Thank in advance!
