Portland, ME - compensation

Post by jake768 » Tue Feb 25, 2014 11:44 am

Does anyone have any idea what associate compensation looks like at the top firms in Portland, ME (Verrill Dana, Bernstein Shur, Pierce Atwood)?

IIRC from when I interviewed with those firms, it's something like 75-80K for first year associates.

Cost of living really that much less in Portland, huh? Seems like quite a drop from $145k/160k in Boston.

It's the equivalent of 100K in Boston. So it's a decent sized hit. One of the reasons I'm glad I went elsewhere, as much as I loved visiting firms up there.
