If I’m 100% sure big law isn’t for me (i.e. don’t want to be partner), is it stupid of me not to take a signing bonus to lateral to another firm?

Does anyone know what a fair ratio is for the amount of money you bring into a company VS the amount you should be paid (i.e. salary + commission)?

I work for an IT partner / Tech company, and from outbound cold market selling have added over 40 companies to our books, which over the last two years has generated €850,000 revenue, and will likely be in excess of €5 million in the coming years.

What do you think I should be earning?

Got a situation here. Signed an offer from Deloitte (I counter offered, they approved it), and just told my PwC partner that I received an offer from a competitor.

Any implications since I signed my offer letter already?

How did you set your rent budget when moving in with a partner? I make £125k base (£167k inc bonus), and my boyfriend makes £95k base (£105k inc bonus). I’m used to allocating 30% of my take-home pay to rent, which is about £1800/mo for a charming neighbourhood in zone 1, but my bf’s used to paying closer to £1000/mo to live in zone 6 and balks at the rent prices I think are reasonable given our incomes and locations we want (zone 2). We both wfh so ideally want a 3BR. (Continued in comments)

Seems like a lot of questions on partner comp and net worth. Here is the rule of thumb:
1) Big 4 partners make $600K to $1.5m based on seniority and practice.
2) MBB partners make $1m -3m based on seniority

Typically your expenses are between $100-300k. Add Taxes to it, that’s the amount you add every year.

About 6-10% return yearly on the savings.

So net worth of partners are probably between $3m to $20m depending on which company and seniority, investment profile, etc.

Where am I wrong?

I’m up for partner next year at my Am Law 85-100 firm, where I’m quite happy, other than with respect to comp. With this market paying what it’s paying, I’m getting a lot of interest in other firms. Two Am Law top 20 firms have shown serious interest. I would get market pay, work the same number of hours as current, but partnership is several years away. What’s the right move here? Compensation and supporting my family are top factors.

I've been working in this new law firm for a couple of months and I've been approached by a former client for which I was working for in my old firm. He was basically asking for a fee quote (nothing crazy). We have a meeting planned with that potential client.
My question now is, what type of compensation should I ask to my Partner for (potentially) bringing a client? What amount would be reasonable to ask?
I'm a junior lawyer (in the EU).

My partner is always busy doing something with his kids or wife, I end up doing everything in the ‘selling phase’ because multiple times a week there’s a dentist appointment or school thing that he’s at for half the day, then he’s unavailable after 5:00 every day. He doesn’t really do anything until an idea is sold and he has to comp. This has been going on since we were paired up. What’s a nice way to say ‘your family isn’t an excuse to pin all this work on me’?
