Don't want to get too off topic on my first post, but there are plenty of firms in Cleveland with 6 figure starting salaries. Jones Day is hiring like mad right now and starts at $145k. Baker Hostetler starts at $130k. Thompson Hine, Hahn Loeser, Calfee, Taft Stettinus, Benesch, and others are all $100k+. These firms collectively employ hundreds of associates. To be sure, times are tough, and a law degree is no longer a ticket to guaranteed financial success. But there certainly is a market for luxury rentals downtown. And as of right now, there is next to nothing on offer downtown to fill that niche.
