320 base. 10% of that is equity. I’m in DC at a middling v100 firm that pays market to first years but not lockstep. The salary compression is shit. I was making below 300 as a senior associate just before I made partner.

As shitty as you will think you look in that picture, you'll hang onto it for dear life (or at least 10-15 years) because you'll never look that thin or full of life again. When your new firm COMMANDS you to get a new picture because your old firm's picture doesn't have the same background as your new firm's standard, you will keep using the old one on your LinkedIn because you will barely recognize the man in the new pic.

I started slacking off a year and a half ago when I paid off my loans. Everybody on my teams assumes I’m working hard and I just go with it. Get excellent reviews every cycle, probably cuz I’m working 30 hours a week. No bonus last year but not a bad trade off.

Probably just bounce down the vault ladder like a typical shitbag associate. I’m already a 5th year so can probably only do that a couple times. Then probably just leave law and teach math or something.

Wife no kids. We’re both super prole and live like we’re in college, so we’ve stacked some cash and she doesn’t care if the money stops flowing.

Some associates are definitely overworked, but they’re usually (a) neurotic, (b) nerds who seem to LIKE biglaw work, (c) strivers, or a combination. So who cares.
