OP is seeking the following data for non-equity partners:
1. Salary
2. Bonus
3. Graduating year
Mentor
Then I’d def have a heart to heart with your mentor/rainmaker about what they think you can get.
In general (very general) it isn’t crazy to ask for (hrs billed/yr) x (your rate) / 3.
Well. That's very good to know.
Class year? Current title? City? Practice Area? Firm? (Mid-size, Amlaw 10, Amlaw 50, Amlaw 100, Amlaw 200?)
Well yeah. NEP at a V5 will be paid very different than long term NEP at like Venable. And M&A far more than exec comp probably. And if you’re a 2017 probably way less than if you’re a 2002 grad.
This is an impossible ask unless you’re comparing your comp to someone in your market who has the same or similar numbers as you. At the end of the day, it’s all about how much you bring in vs how much your work is costing the firm. If you bring in a million a year but your fee generators are costing the firm 900k in salaries then you’re not going to be comped the same way as a partner with a million in business who’s labor costs are only 300k. That’s why it’s important to staff your matters with associates who are busy and doing other people’s work so you’re not having to offset 💯 of their salary with your business.
