OP here. Would you mind elaborating a bit? Thanks!Pikappraider wrote:Greenberg and it's not close IMO.
yeah. Lowenstein is a solid firm and is the best in NJ but is kind of a smaller fish in NYC and not as well regarded as most generic nyc vault firms. They also pay below market. Anecdotal but I also had a friend who summered there who said it was not a very pleasant place to work.Anonymous User wrote:OP here. Would you mind elaborating a bit?

The salary goes down? What's the source for this.Pikappraider wrote:yeah.

GT pays market in miami, and is probably the best firm in Florida. I know white and case has a large miami office but GT was founded there and it is treated by most as the best firm around.
Also 145k in Miami >>>>>>>>> 160k in NYC, let alone 150 facing compression in years 2+.
I don't know which firm is healthier financially and I don't know anything about Lowenstein's partnership prospects but I do know that partnership is a somewhat viable goal at most Miami firms, GT included.
I don't agree. This is usually only people at FL schools or people who had grown up in SoFl that are at other schools. Outside of FL people are not gunning for GT MIA over any other firm & location, generally. On TLS and ATL GT is "generally" regarded as a sweatshop.Anonymous User wrote:I know people who would sacrifice their first born child to work at GT Miami. Not sure how that speaks to the comparison but it's definitely the far more desirable choice generally.
They dont go down but the lockstep is going to be lower for a firm that starts off below market to begin with.Anonymous User wrote:The salary goes down?

well most people are not targeting miami unless they are from south florida. For people that want south florida, White and case and Greenberg are the top 2 choices hands down followed by Akerman or HoganAnonymous User wrote:I don't agree.
