I mean I literally posted the average for NYC. Regardless, you’re missing the point. If y’all want to just limit it to Manhattan, sure. It’s $5k.

If you’re in the office until 10 p.m. you don’t really want to commute to Brooklyn. Plus a lot of the firms provide a car service for associates working late and the car service most likely isn’t leaving the island. The whole point of going to law school and getting a BigLaw job is so you don’t have to make everyday financial considerations like a normal person.

That’s still $66,000 left over for everything else.

What would you estimate is the average monthly student loan note for someone who went to the requisite undergrad and T14 law school for this job?
