English term or phrase: he made partner
Soon he fell in love, married a beautiful paralegal, and started a family. In a few years he made partner and
moved into a lovely suburban home.

Una vida "exitosa", ¿no?. ¿Qué significa "make partner"?

Considering that he has married a paralegal, I would guess that he's made partner at a law firm :-)
