Senior Associates are relatively underpaid.
Junior associates $200,000 and partners $800,000+ while senior associates are coming in around $400,000. The pay scale should be more linear.

Pouring one out for all the senior associates making “only” 400k. Thoughts and prayers.

Where do you get the numbers for partners? I think some kind of average or median number is published but that there is a good number of partners getting paid less than that. At $400k senior associates are pushing up very close to lower paid partners.

Keep in mind that the “average” associate is like a third or fourth year and the “average” partner has been a partner for like 10-15 years. The distributions are totally different

You're forgetting about counsel and partner-track counsel who need to make more than senior associates but less than partner. At my AMLaw 20 firm they do.

Backstory: started with a company back in July. Negotiated a very competitive salary package, I was able to work out a guarantee to take a draw for the first 6 months until I get ramped. But I have yet to make any real impact for the company within the first 10 weeks. I feel terrible for taking “commissions that I didn’t earn or show any progress”. Would I be an idiot to talk to my vp and say don’t pay my commission until it’s earned?
