I am an attorney at a small-ish firm. I had my annual review this afternoon, I was the last person to get one and didn't get called into my boss's office until 4:00. I was a little annoyed at that point, being the Friday before a holiday weekend. I guess good things come to those who wait, though, because he offered me partnership! I'm so excited and scared. I've been drinking with my coworkers since I got out, haha.
<) (high5) Congrats! So awesome! Are you accepting?
ETA: in my house that was a jewelry store present-worthy achievement. Just sayin', Mr. Kadams...
I have to review the partnership agreement, but yes, I am accepting! To make it MM, it is about a 35% raise in my base salary, and if the bonus I received today is an indication of future bonus potential, an additional 15% in bonuses. I need to decide on a present for sure!
Did you really have no idea this would happen today? My only experience with partnership is big law based, where you put yourself up for partner and have a pretty good indication of what's coming before it happens. I can't imagine just showing up to work one day and having then be all "surprise, you're a partner!" How fun!

I was under the impression from my review last year that I was on the right track, but that it was several years out still. I didn't know the review would be today, even, and definitely did not know aboit this. My firm is small though, there are less than 30 attorneys, so they aren't super formal shout procedures and such.
