How long after becoming a partner can you beat your law firm earnings?

You won't beat law firm earnings until a few years after you make partner. There were fairly senior directors who made about as much as a senior associate.

What happens if you don't follow the rules?

Failure to follow these rules will get you outed, warned, or banned.

Is salary compression real?

This is not true, at least at my Big4. Salary compression is very real. CPAs, JDs, and LLMs will all *roughly* have the same salary around manager level. Yes, this means that LLMs are not getting large bonuses (even those with high ratings are getting small raises) while CPAs are getting large raises. This may not be the case in all offices/firms, but I am positive it is the case where I work.

Can a director make more than a senior associate?

A director can make more than a senior associate (although it will take longer to get there). There's very little chance that a senior manager will make more than a senior associate who makes market. Also, let's dispel the notion that big4 director is some kind of lifestyle position.

Do LLMs and JDs meet?

No. JDs and LLMs will never naturally meet until principal level. Your salary increases and bonuses are set by your base salary. So unless the JD was making significantly higher bonuses and raises year to year as a result of his/her higher work output, the LLM will still be making more At manager level than a JD.
