Just wanted to post this for anyone interested, Dr. Henry is advising all Post Secondaries to prepare for being fully in-person in the Fall.

Would look at the "Large Firm" pay bracket, and the lower end of it.
Recognizing that some of Fogler, A and B, WeirFoulds, Torkin might match the high-end of the scale, but most don't through to 7th year.
The ZSA guide isn't helpful for bay street gigs. None of the firms OP referenced are paying their first year associates 95k/year, let alone 80k. And if you're only making $110,000 as a third year associate at A&B, I have a bridge to sell you.
As a general rule, mid-size and boutique firms servicing the same type of clients serviced by the large firms are going to pay their associates roughly the same base compensation at the start of their careers.
