When I was an associate at an Am Law 100 firm that did not pay market compensation, and billing 2300+ hours annually, I was told by partners on more than one occasion that firms who paid the "big bucks" (market comp) were sweat shops. Do associates these days ever hear similar comments by partners about higher-paying firms? Just curious.
