as all the comments point out, you are wrong. boomers were pretty much guaranteed partner just by showing up and existing (and they got into HLS based on a "plucky attitude" and "gumption" btw). genx is probably the first generation that started getting squeezed by boomers pulling up the ladder, but a huge number of equity partners are all over biglaw.
it's the millenials and younger that are uberfucked by the ladder-pulling.
