Kontras
For an AMLAW 100 firm, the associates are wildly underpaid. In no other law firm at the AMLAW100 level are associates so poorly compensated. The model is generally to burn through talent and to give as little as possible while demanding as much as possible. There is little to no transparency in how to make partner and very little support. I was offered partner the following year as a counteroffer when I gave notice. I stayed, their offer of partnership evaporated. I loved some of my colleagues; however, overall, expect to be overworked and taken advantage of. You can develop expertise but it is a high price. And to be clear, they do not value you, just your billing.
