[quote=Anonymous]The variation is huge. The PPP number is an average across equity partners, but an increasingly small number of partners are equity. Even then, you can have a few rainmaker partners who take home much higher numbers and so some are taking much less. For non-equity partners, in Cravath-scale firms the bottom end is usually very close to senior associate level (so around $500). But the firms you mentioned are not Cravath-scale firms (meaning they do pay their first and probably second year associates on the scale, but after that it’s black box and will be much less and/or bonuses will be less). So the pay for their junior non-equity partners could be around $300. I joined one of the lower AmLaw100 firms as a NEP a few years ago and my offer was $350 plus bonus tied to my book which could have significantly raised it. I wasn’t good at building my book, though, so I left to go inhouse where I now make substantially more, and I don’t have to worry about business development any more, which I am happy about!
