- logical42 13y agoYeah, it's a bit embarrassing how well I know the numbers for this.. glad I decided against it.
- lagugun 13y agoYeah, it's becoming less and less of a good tradeoff for the $200k+ cost of attendance and 3 years of opportunity cost. One funny thing about making the engineer-to-lawyer comparison regarding this salary fixing issue is that law actually has a much more obvious salary fixing problem, since almost every biglaw firm pays 160k and firms don't tend to compete for entry-level hires with compensation.
