seems dodgy to me, i feel like they collect young male partners (on a commission basis i believe) who are looking to build a practice but are not as experienced as they make themselves out to be, and market them as if they are so that it looks like they have a large practice

Want to second this opinion. There are many so called 'partners' out there, are actually senior associates. This happens for small firms where the partner title is just there for show. Their experience, comp and ben, workload r not diff from senior associates. Externally, they call themselves partner (as seen in their email signature)), but internally they r just senior associates

lf you think Big 4 junior partners aren't like senior associates too, I have got news for you.

Anyone knows the exact pay for JP-1 and JP-2 ?

I hear it’s about 15k-16k for a certain B4.

Isn't the difference that JPs can take the lead on smaller (but still larger) cases, whereas SA's cannot. So they are still the biggest fish for particular cases, which contrasts with SAs who will always be (at least) 2nd chair on any case or deal.

12k

No. B4 senior assocs at year 6 are already around 13k.

Which firm has the most delisted?

LOL no need to be obsessed with working with delisted lawyers. If you're good, you're good. If you're not, you're not. Practice will separate those who can make it and those who cannot.

Btw, these are the percentages of overseas grads in the most recent 2022 partner class in 3 of the Big 4s respectively (Drew hasn't announced yet). Can draw your own conclusions (if there's indeed any to be drawn):

WP: 1 out of 10 (10%)
R&T: 4 out of 9 (44%)
A&G: 7 out of 13 (54%)

Ya don’t worry, if you are a gem you will shine in long kang too
