[quote=Anonymous]It varies, and it's gotten longer recently. However, the only timeline is when you are an associate. At most firms, after 8 to 10 years you need to either make counsel (or partner) or start looking for another job: there are no 15th-year associates, for example. A lot of people get made "counsel" with the idea that they are still on partner track, but there is no real timeline for making partner: it's a question of when it makes financial sense for the firm. Some people are content to remain counsel forever, while others aren't but can't quite make the jump to partner, especially if the firm is not doing well or the aged supervising partner refuses to retire. Your friends who made partner in their early 30s presumably billed a ton and/or brought in business, and therefore it made financial sense for the firm to make them partners. [/quote]
