"Regular" $1.2M house, kids in public school and park district day camp for the summer. Cleaning lady once a week. Have a small, outdated ski condo that we bought 15+ years ago together with my brothers family. Holidays are normal. We visit family or they visit us.


What does he do, and how long has he been earning that? And why are you so cheap?

Hes a big law partner, 4 years into partnership. We both came from families teetering on the edge of LMC. We are young (I'm 4 years younger).


How young is young? How are you earning so much being young?


I think they may have a flexible definition of young if they bought a condo 15+ years ago with their brother, unless it was bought in undergrad or HS


My thoughts exactly

This is the 2nd poster with big law comp at or above $7M. Is that normal? Especially this example with being just 4 years into the partnership? I thought typical big law partner pay was more like $2-4M depending on billings so say $3M rolling average.


It’s pretty common at the top firms these days (top 10 firms average that or more in average profit per partner), but I’ve never heard a partner of only 4 years hitting that. That would be extremely unusual and I would love to know how that happened as typically it takes more years to grow your practice to have that kind of revenue generation.
