Top Law Schools

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

I'm also curious about this.

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

I'd take that in a heartbeat.

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.
