Any other lgbt women in this group? I did the whole “move to nyc” thing on a whim and it worked out! I’m in my first year at a small firm, mid-town, decent pay. Would like to meet other attorneys in the lgbt community (even virtually) but idk how to go about that. Was just navigating making new friends when the pandemic hit NYC hard.

Thank you so much! I’ll reach out

My firm has a city wide lgbt networking reception every October. Not sure if that will go forward now but there’s tons out there. Yale Gala also has professional queer women events.

I don’t go to stuff anymore cause I am now a lesbian with a toddler and that’s pretty boring to recruiting. But we’re out there and there’s a decent amount of us.

That’s great to know, thank you! I’m from a small town so being in a city with such a strong lgbt community is new to me, and that’s good to know there’s such a strong community here!

Me! Hello! Feel free to message me. I'm also in NYC

From Googling, I’ve seen everything from ~$77k to ~$135k. With my ~6 years of experience, what would be a fair starting range for me to suggest?
