Fwiw, to enjoy the same standard of living in New York as you do in Nashville, you would need to make $430,000. Looked at in reverse, the $200,000 that biglaw firms are paying people in NY is worth $74,000 in Nashville.
Nerdwallet compared only Manhattan while for some reason grouping Nashville with Murfreesboro Tennessee (an entirely separate and far cheaper city in Tennessee). https://www.bestplaces.net/cost-of-living/new-york-ny/nashville-davidson-tn/200000

I know someone at a large regional firm (not am law 200) in Nashville making 165 - 2019 grad
SA1 no, I don’t know the lockstep scale.
A couple details that would be helpful: how many attorneys? Is your firm AMLaw 200? Billing rates? Are they planning to pay at market or below? 120k for a 5th year is definitely below market. I’d say you should be making at least 150k, if not more.

Make sure they are comparing all of the data points: bonuses, health insurance, 401(k) match, etc.
What practice areas?
