[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was an associate decades ago most associates left the firm before becoming senior associates and every associate I ever talked to said they weren't really interested in being a partner even if they "had a shot at it."  Then, like now, it was often a defense mechanism because the odds were so low.   And now the odds are even lower.  So, yea, you're not going to hear a lot of junior associates admit that they want to be partners -- but every senior associate still at the firm is there because, at least in part, they think they have a shot.  [b]And no associate who is actually offered partnership will turn it down.[/b]

New century, same way of thinking.

But this part isn't true. Associates really are turning it down. [/quote]

Not very often.[/quote]

Far more often than it was 10 years ago.  [/quote]

Based on what?  Your feelings?  Anecdotes?  Or actual numbers and data?

Any associate who actually goes all the way through the associate process and is actually offered partnership and turns it down is an idiot.  [/quote]
