I’m in the same position. 11th year associate in a major market. Making $190k, bonus maybe $15k if I’m lucky. No path to partnership and I’ve pretty much been told this is about as high as pay goes for associates. Commercial lit billing around 1800-2000 a year
I’m jumping ship for other reasons but yea if you feel you’re stuck with no real path upward, never too late to make a change
