I guess I can no longer make snarky comments about Pennsylvania. It’s still not the most scintillating place to live or work (admit it, it’s more Ohio than New York), but there are signs it might not be career-dullsville either.

1. Pennsylvania law firms are outperforming competitors nationally in demand, profitability and rate increases, according to a survey from the Legal Specialty Group at Wells Fargo Private Bank. (The survey looked at 125 firms in the Pennsylvania region, including a few in Delaware).
2. At some big Pennsylvania firms, first year associates are making New York salaries ($160,000 for first year—in case you’re totally out of it)!
