Lawyer at a large non-cravath paying firm (salary 250k + bonuses). It’s decent. Helps that husband is a lawyer too. Otherwise, probably wouldn’t stay in LA if our joint household income dipped under 400k.

In fishbowl there’s a lot of consultants but if you think about it, the people who live in Los Angeles include everything from billionaire tech entrepreneurs and entertainment royalty to food cart vendors and janitors. They all live here although certainly at different levels of opulence.

The idea is that wealthy people want to live in the most nicest areas. Like costal areas with good weather. They buy services and people live there to provide those service. Think about restaurants, shopping, construction, cars, wealthy people buy more stuff than not wealthy people. But as more wealthy people want to live in that area, it pushes up prices and the people who provide services can’t afford to live there any move and they have to move further out. Think about Santa Monica from 1950 to today how it has evolved.

Like AA1, am a lawyer married to another lawyer (although I’m in public interest and make significantly less than AA1 or my husband, and combined household income is a little under the 400k mark), but like MD1 said — people with all sorts of occupations and income levels live here (my friends include community college professors, therapists, graphic designers, biomedical researchers, accountants, local government employees) — it’s just different standards of living.

How do you get experience when no one will hire you? I wouldn’t mind hanging a shingle but I feel it’d be irresponsible to do so with no experience. Unlike all of my classmates, I never landed an internship/externship in law school - had only one interview. I was a PT law student, came from a CS background, and worked in IT throughout law school. I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?
