as all the comments point out, you are wrong. boomers were pretty much guaranteed partner just by showing up and existing (and they got into HLS based on a "plucky attitude" and "gumption" btw). genx is probably the first generation that started getting squeezed by boomers pulling up the ladder, but a huge number of equity partners all over biglaw are genx.
it's the millenials and younger that are uberfucked by the ladder-pulling. there are genx lolyers who will never make equity, sure, but the numbers get far worse for the younger generations.
and actually law as a profession is probably fucked. younger lawyers have shitty work ethic and don't seem to care much about all the grinding and bullshit you have to put in to "make it" in this gay profession.
