long term earning potential in different markets

Post by Drew2010 » Tue Feb 23, 2010 2:08 pm

Out of simple 0L curiosity, is there a pretty big difference between what partners are making in the same firm in different markets? For example, Boies Schiller has ppp over 3 mil, and also has 4 different offices in FL. Are the partners in the FL offices most likely making much less than average, while the partners in NYC are making much more? Just in general, how significant are the differences in partner earning potential for different markets like NYC vs Chicago vs Miami?

Edit: Also, as a secondary question, how different is the quality of work you would be able to work on in different size markets? Is the complexity of the work in a place like Miami much different than in NYC or Chicago?
