Very few people turn down a partnership offer because even though they want it they can't afford it. They may turn it down because it doesn't make economic sense, because they can hop elsewhere for a better deal, but not because they are stuck and can't afford it.
Better now to concentrate on positioning yourself to make partner: client development is key.
But the prevailing philosophy on this board seems to be that the partnership goal is a questionable one: it's a pie eating contest where the prize is more pie. So take what you hear here with a grain of salt.
Best of luck.

Thanks. Any advice on client development for very junior associates in a city where you don't exactly have deep roots? I'm transactional, if that makes any difference.
