Got an offer at a boutique firm, they are offering mid-100k (3 YOE, but I’m retooling). Great opportunity (like, I really love everything about it), and I’m prepared to take a pay cut, but the salary seems especially low. Any insight into what talent-side boutiques are offering in high COL areas (LA, NY)?

My search is similar to yours and it seems the range can vary from like $90K - near Cravath scale. I saw a job posting recently advertising $85K in NYC (disrespectful if you ask me). Based on my research, it depends on the size of the firm and the size of their business. Some “boutiques” have over 100 attorneys, while some have 10 or so.
