That doesn’t exist lol. You can only get one.
As a tid bit, in Tampa, Jacksonville, and Orlando, only the top firms pay around 120k. Everyone else will pay around 50-70k
First to third year.
Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville will have good firms and a lower cost of living. Some Miami firms pay more to account for higher expenses, but a lot do not.
If you’re looking for a high salary and low cost of living, try quitting law school and majoring in something else
He's a 2L. He's already spent at least 20k, not including his undergrad education
I am a second year associate in Orlando making $81k.
Jacksonville and Tampa are cheapest places that have good paying firms.
A cheap place to live with high salaries? Hmmmm I suggest you ride your unicorn to the end of the rainbow. Doesn't exist.
If you’re not going big law and want to litigate, whichever city you choose, land a judicial clerkship, grind out a year or two of low-wage work in a courthouse where you can take advantage of government benefits, network, identify areas of law you enjoy, see which local firms you respect, and learn as much law as possible to bring to your practice - especially procedure. Ultimately, firms desire young attorneys with this particular experience and whenever you make the move, you can command a significantly higher salary than your classmates who went straight to the same firm after law school.
Also, whether you know how to negotiate tends to make a significant difference your salary.
I vote TAMPA
