I mean people do make partner so its possible. I generally think its easier to make partner in a transactional practice
I guess I’m a 4year at a firm now that is under market, but the path to partnership is clear and attainable if I maintain my performance. I’m considering making a jump, but I’m worried I will lose the same partnership prospect and be left scrambling in 4-6years

Go onto Pillsbury's website, and look at the LinkedIn profiles of their lit partners to determine how many partners lateraled in as associates and were promoted. It's always a red flag for potential lateral associates if the partners in a group are all home grown or lateraled to the firm when they were already a partner. Also figure out how many litigation leaders are in the office where your offer is. If you're placed in a satellite office and won't get facetime with decision-makers, it can be hard to make partner.

How many years in a row can you bill 2400 hours?
I know…i do it because the hours allow for a bonus to make up for some of the gap in salary. I guess I also figure it’d be similar hours at a market firm to make partner, but could be wrong
No one is making partner on billables alone. There are so many factors in place. Billables, BD efforts, firm citizenship, partner support, etc. The question is also what kind of partner you want to be. Do you want to service other people's books or build your own? If it's the latter, you need to assess which relationships you can leverage, what rates those clients will be willing to pay, and whether the platform is attractive.
