Any of these firms breaking $300k for their most senior associates? Genuinely asking - I'm from Michigan and always considered making a move back.

Maybe! I know Taft has horrible compensation compression even in their largest market.

I don’t have exact rankings, but from what I’ve seen, firms like Butzel Long, Honigman, and Dykema are some of the top-paying in Michigan. It can vary based on your practice area, but those names are generally known for offering competitive compensation in the market.

Butzel Long made me chuckle. Had to look them up. Doesn't help their logo looks like balls

Thoughts on Varnum or Taft?

It’s kind of iffy. I was shown their policy and it said their 4th year salary in mid west was 195k base.

However, I’ve had multiple recruiters reach out to me and tell me it was between 200-235k.

I’d believe the policy document I saw over the recruiter. I know someone there and once I found out what their rates were, it made sense. They weren’t that high at least from what I was told
