Secondary Lateral Salary Question

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Apr 30, 2018 2:09 pm

Hey y'all, I am third year exploring a lateral from a market-paying city to a secondary market that uniformly (as far as I can tell) pays below market. I am curious how, if at all, my current salary will influence any salary the firm may offer. The city is very low COL so anything extra would be a pretty good bump and would go a long way to more quickly paying off these loans. Thanks in advance.

Do you have any idea what the market pay is in the secondary market? That figure is going to be much more important than whatever your salary is now.

$120,000-$130,000 seems to be the norm for first years.

I’m assuming this is Nashville. Midlevel pay is around 150-160. None of the firms pay that much.
