[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is a partner at a V50 and there are definitely partners in niche practice areas that make less than senior associates in his group. Anyone who doubts this doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. [/quote]
Everyone knows that some partners make less than senior associates.  What I doubt is that a partner makes 300, which is less than a 3rd year associate after bonus (250 base + 57.5 bonus).  A partner's comp shouldn't be so low unless the firm is trying to push him or her out.  It's hard to believe a lawyer left a government job for a biglaw position paying this little, particularly one who is married to an in-house counsel who should also have some familiarity with biglaw compensation.

Most people I know who have lateralled to counsel positions get paid around the same as senior associates: 400-415 base plus a bonus of 100 or more.[/quote]

It's entirely possible that his base is 300 with the intention that he would bring in work and get a bonus. OP didn't say. [/quote]
