Hogan & Hartson announced today that it is bumping up its starting salary in Washington, D.C. to $160,000. The raise comes in reponse to the rash of pay increases that California firms have implemented over the past two weeks. Though many New York and national firms already applied the NY market rate ($160,000) to their NY offices, Hogan & Hartson is the first Washington-based firm to do so. Most likely, other firms will follow its lead soon.
