I have been an associate for 13 years and make $200k. Seems like this is slightly more than what most firms pay. Am curious to hear how much people with a similar number of years’ experience make

That's 2nd year pay in NYC Biglaw

likefunny

Area of law? Your normal annual billable hours? Your billing rate? Otherwise it makes no sense to try to compare. You get paid based on what clients are willing to pay you. For some upscale big law that means a ridiculous amount even for first years, for others it is a lot less because they work with clients with much smaller pockets.

On a new team, internal move. Have about 10 YOE but looks like this will be the first year I end nowhere near annual goal. A few things outside of my control as I'm coming into the territory and things falling through. Role is heavy on renewals/farming but also some hunting. Because the farming has been so bad as I settle into month 4, will have a huge climb. The number of reps/meetings to get there is not attainable. Do I grind it past year 1? I hate that I will come nowhere close to goal...

When do partners decide when an associate is good enough to make partner?

It’s hard for me to avoid the conclusion that associates are largely being strung along by partners who are going to can them at some point, long after that decision is made.

Ok this one’s for my fellow adhd’ers and auties: are we pro or against disclosing? Feels like it’d help my partners understand why I’m so good at certain things and absolute shite at others, rather than just thinking I’m lazy. But also, disclosure = risk of stigma. Where do people fall? For the seniors/counsel/partners, would you want your associates to disclose something like this or is it just irrelevant/going to make you think they’re just a problem for you even if you like their work?
