[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this all very interesting. My DH is a first year non-equity partner in a AmLaw 100 firm (lower 50) and he makes $460K base and then got a $125K bonus for an all in of $585K as his first year as a non-equity partner.  So more than his last year as a senior associate/counsel but definitely low for a partner compared to some of the big AmLaw 100 firms. I think the rain maker in his group got a $7 million bonus last year but that is from winning a very large contingent case that year.  I think the profits per partner in his firm are around $1.2 million (average obviously).

Being a successful partner in a law firm just means you get more pie from the pie eating contest - it never ends.  My DH billed around 2000 hours last year and all in was close to 3000 hours with non-billable/business development stuff.  An average 40 hour work week person works 2080 hours.  That means DH worked close to 900 more billable hours (which is not a 1:1 for hours actually worked) than a normal 9-5 employee.  Basically he works all the time. [/quote]

How old is your DH? Just trying to gage when - or at what age - someone gets to non-equity partner[/quote]
