Not pushing back on the premise, but it's worth noting that associate comp has tracked with inflation. $114,500 in 1999 translates to $205,600 today, which is ~5% below the $215k firms currently pay first years. I think senior associate salaries have grown more relative to inflation. Of course, partner comp has increased much more relative to inflation.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 6:19 pmJust up the partnership comp by 5x, rates by 5x and associate comp by barely 2x.institutionalized wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 4:58 pmhttps://nymag.com/nymetro/news/crimelaw ... ndex2.html
