they countered. they can't match (which I didn't expect them to) but are still offering a $50k increase in salary starting jan 1 with a clearly expressed intention to make me partner early and eye me as a equity partner candidate by the next 5-10 years.

i am told partners make up to $350k a year if they are strong performers and are on their path to equity. the lower rung of equity partners still clear $600k

the firm that wants to hire me told me that raises are usually $5k -$10k annually. I asked about the path to partnership there and was told a generic it's hard work but it's there if you want it. over the last 25 years my potential boss as been with the firm, there have been two other partners only. and neither are there anymore. and she has a 7 year attorney who is not going to be partner ever.

i roughly mapped out my financial projections through 2023, and estimate by then i'll be making about the same amount of money (assuming I don't make partner by then). in the course of those next 4 years, i'd be giving up about $50k in exchange for the upward mobility expressly communicated by my current firm. and hopefully that would pay off in dividends in the years to follow, but there's never a guarantee of that.

hrrrrrrrrrrrgh
