Has anyone ever gone from partnership track to non-partnership track? I'm currently on partnership track, but have been thinking of going to non-partnership track. My firm offers this option. I would like to get a sense of how much compensation adjustment I should be expecting and how switching to a non-partnership worked out for other. Any thoughts/advices?

Your experience will probably vary based on your firms specific culture and policies, as well as what practice area you are in. I remember a thread about a month or two back where lots of people were warning that they effectively took a massive pay cut yet still ended up working pretty long hours due to "client needs".

What do you think the benefit of this is? Are they actively asking you to make a decision? Not all associates make partner, that is expected and understood. But the minute you get off partner track, my sense is you become a second class citizen at the firm, associates not as senior to you may “outrank” you in a sense, partners are no longer viewing you as one of their all stars who gets plum assignments etc.

My point being, why not ride it out until/unless they force you to switch? Are they offering an hours reduction? Is this a “staff attorney” position? A “counsel” position? Still an “associate” but just not partner track?

May I ask why you'd want to switch?

This ⬆️

Agreed. Seems like there is very little upside (in fact none) in telling them now vs waiting.
