[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if your firm has this but my old firm had a spreadsheet they gave to all of the partners that listed all of the metrics for each individual partner (origination credit, billable hours, realization rate, etc.) along with the comp for each partner.  One partner was an idiot and left this on the shared drive so I got to see it one day.  It was interesting to see the relative standing of each of the partners in terms of how much they got paid and how much business they actually had.  Anyways, if your firm has a sheet like that you'll be able to see whether other partners are spending time on work-related activity as well.[/quote]

Extremely valuable intelligence for an associate.  That way the associate doesn't waste time doing work for partners who are of little career advancement potential.[/quote]

To be honest, I already had a feel for who the important partners were in the group and they were the ones that always had an abundance of work.  There was maybe one or two guys I was surprised about that didn't have as much work as I thought based on how arrogant they were.  At the end of the day, my practice group had nothing to offer for career advancement...every associate I knew above and below me in my practice group is gone and I don't think they have made a new partner in the corporate group in years.[/quote]
