Genuine question looking for honest advice. 7th year at V20 doing CM. Was put up for partnership last year but didn't make it. This year they offered counsel as real possibility if I was interested. Gotten consistently good reviews, have good reputation, been busy with work and met/exceeded hours consistently. I'm considering my options here - should I stay and shoot for counsel here or lateral to a different firm (incl. KE for NEP)? Inhouse also option but comp is the driver w kids, sole earner

You were put up for partner as a 6th year at a V20…?

That’s still the youngest I’ve heard at a V20. Is that the standard first year people can go up for partner at your firm? Youngest I’ve heard is 8th

Why would you ever go to KE as a 7th year. You’re never going to make equity at KE and going as a 7th year means you’ll need to move in about 2 years unless you negotiated right from the start that they will keep you as a forever NEP. And also interesting why a 6th year would be put up for partnership.

Author here. Fixing the typo in my original thread - currently an 8th year (was put up for partnership last year - as a 7th year associate). Apologies for any confusion, and appreciate flagging the typo here!

Do you really want partner? Or is in house attractive?

You went up for partnership, didn't get it, but you stayed senior associate instead of going to counsel? Did you get put up early?

Even more reason not to make a move to KE

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

My question is:

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
