[quote=Anonymous]No but amongst my 3 closest DC friends we all have an idea based on where they work plus lifestyle.  As in -- the SEC attorney is in the 200k range and doing much better than that salary would suggest because she made her money in 10 years of biglaw and was/is a big investment person (we talk about investments big picture); the DOJ attorney is in the 160k range and complains about money constantly despite the fact that she takes no big vacations/no fancy car etc. so we think it’s big law school loans and mortgage and no real investing; the law firm partner is easily in the 750k range etc.

IDK if we’d ever talk about it.  I feel like the SEC attorney and biglaw partner would talk if it was about – hey I’m getting an offer to return to biglaw, this is the money I should expect, right? But none of us would ever involve the DOJ person in this conversation because she’s the type who is always counting others’ money, makes comments about how easy others’ lives are because of money etc. (not sure who is holding a gun to her head to stay in DOJ but I think it’s a martyr complex thing).
