What is comp like in Minneapolis firms? Do some pay significantly better than others, or are they all the same? Spouse’s family in MN so considering a move, but I make DPW scale currently (am a litigation associate) and the salary estimate I got from a firm in MN would be 40% less than what I currently make! Cost of living and hours requirement slightly lower in MN, but nowhere near 40%! Are there any options that would not result in a drastic pay cut?

Thanks!

Can you go full-time remote at your current firm?

Unfortunately no.

My friend was making 115 as a first year to my 180 a few years ago. That's all I got.

Thanks!

I think Jones Day pays the highest starting salary but unfortunately they’re black box after the first year.

Yeah. They’re a mystery in every market. Thanks!

For reference the best litigation shop by reputation is RobbinsKaplan, but I hear rumors that it’s not likely to last.

Why not? Also, this depends on practice area

My firm’s Minneapolis office‘s scale is $170k-$240k

Can you share what firm this is?
