[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I should go back to being an associate. I have 20 years of in house experience and make less than a first year associate (and do excellent work). [/quote]

But surely starting salaries in Biglaw is not news to you, and more importantly you know full well why they make more than you do. [/quote]

Yeah, I want to know what rock PP has been living under. There is not a single profession with more pay transparency than big law associates. [/quote]

I have often thought that at least 1/2 the people posting on DCUM threads about the legal profession are not lawyers. People who, for whatever weird reason, feel the need to play one on DCUM. [/quote]

Totally agree, i think there are probably 6 partners (me included) who post pretty consistently over the years - a couple men and several women.  A bunch of associates who show up when they are in crisis mode over the years (being pushed out, thinking about leaving, want to make partner, etc).  And then a bunch of non-big law people.

Mostly sah wives who have biglaw husbands, or women who were in biglaw for 3 years, 10+ years ago.  In the second bucket, i get that people have extremely good reasons for leaving biglaw, but leaving at year 3 typically means you didn't exactly crack the code for success in big law.  So none of these opinions are very relevant, even though [b]i know the second bucket in particular get sensitive if you suggest they don't have much to add. [/b] [/quote]

Well, they do have a lot more to add than the sahm wives. Who, I believe, post on these threads quite a bit, pretending to be lawyers themselves. [/quote]
