I don't understand the idea of getting an MBA in your situation. It is nothing more than another credential if you already have two degrees (bachelor's degree & law degree). Start a business or get a different job where you have responsibilities other than just legal. It could be something like a smaller company where you do legal work as well as work in HR or purchasing, or work for business that provides products or services to lawyers, or a sales job selling to lawyers. Plenty of lawyers move up in the corporate world when they have broad experience that involves other skillsets and there are a lot of CEOs with law degrees. Take a pay cut if you have to because any pay is going to be more than not getting paid and paying tuition for an MBA program.

Also, testos111 has some solid advice earlier in the thread. Consider what he said and all the options you have. Don't get so hung up on your salary.

I have thought of changing careers but 27 seems too late in the day for me

Seriously? 27 or did you mean or 47?

Well, coming back to the issue, the job offers that I get are in general, in another city where the cost of living is 1.25x the cost of living in the city that I stay in and yet the kind of salaries that I get offered are 1.2x the current salaries.

I understand the part about moving to a city farther away from your parents but you are massively over-thinking things when you are comparing 1.25x cost of living and 1.2x salary. I would say you need to take a step back and look at the big picture but I think you might need to take about 10 steps back to do that.

Good Luck.
