Those of you that have gone part time at a big law form or that went senior counsel rather than partner track, what is your comp like? I genuinely have no interest in making partner. I love my work, but I’d also love to have more time back. I’m just curious what it is like for you all financially. Thanks!

Counsels at my big law firm make high 200s, with a “1700” billable hour requirement. It’s a crap deal.
