You would probably start out around 100k if you attended a T50

super cursory google search says the average family law attorney in nyc makes 110k a year

GuiltlessPuffyDog

11:20

yeah I saw that too its just people on reddit have been telling me average is like 50-60k along with criminal law so I was confused

manifestT14acceptances

11:22

i think as always its going to depend on a number of factors. $110k in nyc really doesnt go as far and people would say that is similar to making like 50/60k in chicago or pittsburgh

very true. thanks!

if i have a non law related summer job lined up but i am on some waitlists should i try to find a law-y project of some type to work on

Ijustwannagetinman

11:54

110k only doesn’t seem like that much bc of the whole culture of nyc being a whole “keeping up with the jones’” vibe

Ijustwannagetinman

11:55

Everyone needs that doorman apartment. Everyone needs a bottega bag. Everybody needs to eat out 4 times on the weeks and drop $30 on a cocktail. Obviously not everybody needs that but that’s as much of the problem of nyc as living expenses and why ppl think money doesn’t go as far as it can

my brother in christ have you seen the cost of rent

I lived in New York ik but a lot of the issue is exaggerated like 110k in New York is not 60k in Chicago lol

ftr i got that number using cost of lving converters which aren't 100% accurate but its not like i pulled those numbers out my ass https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/real-estate/cost-of-living-calculator/new-york-manhattan-ny/?city=chicago-il&income=60000 https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator/compare/chicago-il-vs-new-york-manhattan-ny

The various cost of living calculators (including the Forbes one above) are bad because these websites cobble them together in a week for clicks

jb2028

12:49

As a result, they just take the same "basket" of goods and multiply it by price data for every city (easy) instead of adjusting for stuff like "people in NYC buy less gas than people in Nashville because why on earth would you own a car in NYC?" (hard)

If you want a decent estimate, government stats like regional price parity are built by actual economists https://apps.bea.gov/itable/?ReqID=70&step=1&_gl=1*10cmwy8*_ga*NDc2ODg2MTk3LjE3MTQ4NDA5OTk.*_ga_J4698JNNFT*MTcxNDg0MDk5OC4xLjEuMTcxNDg0MTU2MC41My4wLjA.#eyJhcHBpZCI6NzAsInN0ZXBzIjpbMSwyOSwyNSwzMSwyNiwyNywzMCwzMF0sImRhdGEiOltbIlRhYmxlSWQiLCIxMDQiXSxbIk1ham9yX0FyZWEiLCI1Il0sWyJTdGF0ZSIsWyI1Il1dLFsiQXJlYSIsWyIxNjk4MCIsIjM1NjIwIiwiMzgzMDAiXV0sWyJTdGF0aXN0aWMiLCIxIl0sWyJVbml0X29mX21lYXN1cmUiLCJMZXZlbHMiXSxbIlllYXIiLFsiMjAyMiJdXSxbIlllYXJCZWdpbiIsIi0xIl0sWyJZZWFyX0VuZCIsIi0xIl1dfQ==

And, incidentally, show NYC is more expensive (Manhattan is 33% above U.S. average, Brooklyn 16%, Queens 15%) but not super different from Chicago (5% above average), so $110K in New York is about $83K in Chicago

I asked this earlier and forgot to look at the answer before it disappeared but what should be the difference between my 1st and 2nd LOCI? It’s the only school I applied to and they know I will 100% attend and what I’ve been up to since I applied

At that point just reaffirm you’re still interested and everything you said holds true I think

Do splitters need something sexy on their apps? 176 but 3.4 GPA and nothing really compelling. Decent essays, but nothing out of this world
