Your mentee should ask second years there.

If it was anything other than pay I would agree with you, but it’s not and people are weird about money. He’s been there a month. He also doesn’t have any junior associate assigned mentors. Put yourself in his shoes—if you were there a month would you reach out to a second year you barely know about a pay question? Or to drive the point closer to home, if you lateraled to a new firm as a partner would you reach out to a partner you just met in another office about a pay question? Doubt it. I honestly think telling him to cold teams a second year he’s met in a training is terrible advice and could come off the wrong way. The same would go for bringing it up on a call or meeting when rapport hasn’t been established yet.

When you meet with a partner for a new assignment. Do you bill for that time? I’m a new associate, so I don’t know. On the one side it seems that meeting and conferring for an assignment requested by the the client would be billable since it’s using firm time and resources. On the other side, we are just talking about how to tackle the assignment and not tackling the assignment itself.
