[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are in a V100 firm and bring in between $3-4 million a year how much would you expect to be paid? [/quote]

I am an attorney but not big law - genuine question: shouldn't you know how much you will be paid? or at least have an idea? is this someone speculating about someone else's salary?[/quote]

I'm guessing OP is a wife who thinks her husband should be making more.[/quote]

A lot of these big law compensation threads seem to be wives trying to understand how much money their man can/should make. The implication is that they need or covet more. Gross. [/quote]

I am a big law wife and you couldn't be more wrong. I don't know a single partner's wife who doesn't work.[/quote]

I'm a partner's wife who doesn't work and I'd say probably 1/3 of my husband's fellow partners (and associates who have children) have a non-working spouse. Or some will "teach preschool 3 mornings a week" or teach yoga a few hours a week or something like that. [/quote]

Thus 2/3 of the partners wives (the majority) work. [/quote]

Yes. But that’s vastly different from saying you literally don’t know any partner’s wives who don’t work. Absurd.[/quote]

I mean that's my lived experience. Do you think I know every single partner at the firm or even in the practice group? I know about ten and they all work. Thus "I don't know a single partner's wife who doesn't work". I never said they don't exist. [/quote]

Obviously there are more than 10 partners at the firm. You knowing barely any partners makes your lived experience basically worthless for this conversation. Why did you bother to post?[/quote]
