I’m pursuing partnership for 2022 but still on the fence as to whether I really want to be a partner. Anyone else felt like this and subsequently make partner? If so, were you glad you stuck it out?

At this point it’s crazy not get the credential. “Partner” on your resume is worth WAY more than “associate.” Stick it out, get the prize, then decide whether you want to stick around.

Also interested in responses. I’m close and will probably make (income) partner, but I’m kind of fried and not sure I actually want the job. Other than the money, I’m not sure I actually like most of what comes with being a partner (client management, firm admin, etc.).

I would say that you’ve come this far, it’s worth the incremental year to see if you like it (and to collect at least one of those checks/draws). I have to imagine you’ll have better exit opportunities as a partner than as an associate, anyways

This!! I‘ve been told I would make income partner this coming year or the next, and I’m not at all upset if I don’t get it this coming year. Ultimately in this job for the money and there is more of it as an associate / counsel than an income partner.

Thanks for all the encouragement! I guess I just feel tired from servicing so many clients. I have had a couple of interesting late stage in-house gigs come my way that are making me wonder if I should pivot to in-house now but it does feel like I’m pot committed to seeing this partnership thing through.

Make a decision. They will sense your indecisiveness and make you hold out another year (or more). Either commit or don’t. No wrong answer.

Make partner and then quit. That way, everyone will know you rejected them.

When do partners decide when an associate is good enough to make partner? I’m a senior and it is extremely clear to me when an associate has it or doesn’t, and moreover it doesn’t take eight years to figure it out; it takes just one or two matters for me to know if they’re adding value or are ultimately just a commodity. 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.

Even the most innocuous detail can be turned against an employee. Eating lunch at your desk can e.g. easily be labelled as being ‘uncooperative’.
