A friend did. He had an offer from a DC firm after his second summer. His first summer firm in Pittsburgh upped his starting salary to 160K to get him.

This is an amazing grab on his part given Pitt's cost of living. Wow... jealous

Wow didn't know that was possible. I could have had offers from NYC. Didn't think they'd ever seriously consider that.

Funny you say that because many people didn't agree with you. The DC firm was pretty prestigious so most of my classmates thought he was stupid. Personally, and this might be my Midwest bias speaking, it sounded like a great deal.
