Big law associates start at $190k, straight out of law school. Big law associates are, however, the top graduates from the top law schools. Most new law graduates don’t make that much, just like most new CS grads don’t make FAANG starting salaries.

Yeah, that was the sort of BigLaw I was comparing to big tech in the grandparent.

Yeah, I just wouldn't call $190k "ruthless wageslavery at BigLaw".
