Cost of living.

I actually asked my attorney coach something along these lines and from what he said I garner that Bob would have more savings after a few years.

What he told me is that many lawyers will work in NYC for just two or three years to save up loads before moving to a smaller, more average place to work. The big difference between NYC and other towns, according to him, is the stress level. You’ll have more money in NYC, cost of living accounted for, but the work level is ludicrous. Lawyers there will literally live in their offices for days at a time. So after said lawyers rack up reserves, they’ll move out to a quieter life.

Again, though, this is only the observation of one attorney.
