[quote=Anonymous]Expect more of this. I’m a partner at a firm that doesn’t have an income partner option, and it’s not uncommon now for us to hold people at associate for 12+ years. We have a counsel designation if someone gets antsy, but it’s roughly the same thing. That’s not true at every firm—meaning of counsel varies wildly. Look, it’s like everything else. Boomers made partner and they’re not going anywhere. Certainly not by their early 60s which was the basis for the 8-10 year timeline. Also, associates make bank with zero responsibility other than show up and do your job. No politics, no BD obligations, no strategy sessions, no trying to generate stats while also adhering to sacrosanct DEI obligations. Just do the work, and you can mostly do it from home now. My senior associates are mostly fine with that arrangement indefinitely, other than the 1 or 2 absolute maniacs who are really and truly built for it. It’s not hard to tell who is and who isn’t.
