| Son finally got an offer for his first job out of law school-starting salary 90K in Boston. I think that is low. |

| your use of the word finally suggests to me that a job with benefits and a salary is the win here. |

| How big is the firm? What type of law? And is he being hired as an attorney or a paralegal? |

Congratulations!! Your kid is getting gainfully employed. If he likes their purpose and ethics, its a win over getting big bucks at a place catering to interests of wealthy individuals and corporations. |

So he graduated what, June and got a job now?
Good lord, let him have the win. That's not BigLaw money but it's not terrible (my sister's starting salary as an prosecutor was much lower). |

| Sounds low, but maybe it will bump up once he passes the bar? Is it a small firm? Low ranked law school? |

| Maybe he needs to live his own life and will do better without you being intrusive. Are you some kind of expert on the legal job market? That's a reasonable salary for some types of jobs, not others. |

| It’s January and if he is only now starting a job, it’s a pretty great salary. |

All of us can understand a parent's worry about living costs in Boston or other HCOL areas so no need to shame them. |

Is. he. asking. you? Specifically, "do you think this salary is too low, mom? I'm concerned."
If not, the correct answer is "I'm so proud of you, Larlo" and then shutting up. |
