This is why we needed to screen cap it. See earlier thread discussion on the same behavior last year.

Why 190? I mean, besides talking one's book. NY to 175 seems more realistic.

The real problem here is that law firms got way out ahead of themselves in the overheated period from 2005 to 2007, when starting base salaries in NYC went from $125K to $160K in two years. Then 2008 happened and these same firms found themselves feeling stupid. In constant dollars, the $125K of 2005, would be a little over $152K in 2015. Combined with the fact that supply and demand is still buyer-friendly, and that economic outlook is still uncertain, there's really no incentive to move.

we don't want your reasonable arguments!

don't know if you're considering in your analysis that the job was less demanding in 2005. This is all I could find http://www.altmanweil.com/dir_docs/reso ... cument.pdf
Not saying this HAS to change your conclusion

Translation: NY to 190 CONFIRMED. Enjoy the extra 30k next year guys!
