Also, you'd be surprised at the number of people in each cohort not looking to make partner at the firm. Once you get your foot in the door, competition is actually not as high as you'd think. The main challenge is whether you can last long enough to reach 7-10PQE.
Hmm lets be realistic. How much does a junior equity partner at Lee & Lee or HEP earn?
