^even in NYC about 55% earn less than 75k. Most people here are doing quite well for a 22-23 yo with no experience, especially considering future earnings growth. More like the increase in unrealistic expectations! http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2014/08/29/income_distribution_of_new_york_city_what_does_it_take_to_be_rich.html

You know, I realized that FB is a great app for crowd sourcing trends in starting comp. We can see people facing a dip around the 2008 crisis. We can also see that overall, firms have been pushing starting comp higher, with uncle D leading the pack.

2008, 34k, consulting, non-US

2011 43k not consulting
