You should rly do a discounted cash flow calculation for your earnings over the next 20 years 😂
Comment from : The Auditor

Hi! I am LLM student in Finland At this moment 1st year associates earn about 4400 euros (3800 pounds in current rates) at bigger law firms in Helsing Associate trainees about 0,75 of that Salary/costs of living ratio are about the same as you have with your partner However, you can get mortgage soon after graduation and pay about same amount of money in monthly loan payments instead of rent with 20-25 years loan Bonuses are about 0,5 - 3 x monthly salary I was surprised how much you have to pay taxes and insurance with that salary in England
Comment from : JA S

Same thing for chartered accountants,, but it is all about future earnings Thanks for “brilliant”

Liam, do you know if there is a way we can find how much Cliford pays in other countries? Such as Belgium? In the website of Cliford in other countries there is no record from what i have seen
Comment from : Eduard Zamfir

Love your voice, very soothing♥️

00:10 "I dont know why I decided to see my hourly wage compared to others" Well The reason is is that our whole life is based on comparison with others We want to know what we are worth and what is our value and sadly we base this upon others I am worth more and so I am better than him And that is our sad life We have been taught comparison from school to uni to work To be better means I am worth more Why do we compare Because really we are nothing and so we compete to become someone and sooner or later we will realise we are just an empty shellbrbrWe also compare because we feel others are taking advantage of us The partners of Clifford Chance are taking advantage But don't worry Their lives are also insecure in bringing in the money and competing with other partners Their insecurity trickles down and becomes your insecuritybrbrGet out quick They cannot value someone who can think for themselves Hahaha

Work life balance is ridiculous in corporate law

Crap salary for London
Comment from : Da C

Thank you so much for sharing with us the reality I'm also curious if a 60-80 working week (not billing hr) is normal for a trainee in big law That means a potential 10hr workload for each day 😳How about the actual billing hour for that week?
Comment from : Ami Co

That looks like $64,000/year Is the cost of living that low in London? Because here in America, a lawyer of your status would make $220,000/year

Ouch those hours… was hoping the pay would make up for it
Comment from : Tom Smith

I was an E5 in the US Military in the early 2010s stationed near London, making around $2400/month and had my housing covered, and still felt broke in London

Not worth the hours like banking Your life is worth more
Comment from : No Name

Read the book "The Apprentice", real good insight on how lawyers start I rather be software dveeloiper
Comment from : Big Daddy

Being a beginning lawyer is like being a beginning medical doctor In fact most nurses make more than a 1st year medical doctor, most don't realize that - at least here in the states In the US after medical school there is a 5 year residency During the residency the medical doctor is paid about $55,000 per year, £40,965 However, the earning potential post 5 years, is much greater so in the beginning it is a financial sacrifice, however it does pay off in the end
Comment from : Doc Portland

Next up, how much it costs to run a law firmbecause the fee earner gets a small proportion of fees earned A lot of law firms have huge loans and overdrafts and it is just a cash flow business ie can you service your commitments from your earn rate
Comment from : Solve, The Business Lawyers

respect for holding a corp law job and doing YouTube too, that's a sub from me!
Comment from : Aryaman Jagdhari

I don’t envious of your stressful job However I am glad you enjoy your job The corporate office environment is so overrated

My friend earned more working in retail lmao
Comment from : Krystian

You make $2750 an hour Fast food workers in the US make $20 in some places I make $57 an hour in law enforcement and I pay less per month to own a much larger house That's insane
Comment from : Bryce&Shannen Clother

hello! i got to hear that corporate lawyers in big law firms (Magic Circle ones) have little to no work/life balance, is that true?
Comment from : emzie

hunk!

Love you
Comment from : mohak khin

Ouch 48k pounds seems like peanuts You do realize that the current starting salary and top US corporate law firms for new graduates is in excess of 180k USD per year
Comment from : Michael Deerborn

This was super interesting because I looked up average pays between London and Seattle, USA, and Londoners are so much less compensated compared to Seattle residents adjusted for the currency differences Cheers man thanks for the video
Comment from : JaguarRed

4:07 where is this hourly age? like where do you live? in the US dentist + software engineer make well over $100/hr, me as a nurse, I make $60/hr, and teachers make around $20/hr at the MINIMUM that sounds horrible where you live
Comment from : Chris A

That’s salary isn’t that much tbh, below average for someone your age in the city
Comment from : xxlairdy110

This is flawed really because you cannot account for the cost of living in london and accomodation, without recognising the increase in salary ratio You would not be on 48k as a trainee outside of london so it's a bit of a moot expense
Comment from : Sim Solace

Is this typical of an entry-level Lawyer? Do you know if US Lawyers make more or less? I am asking because my brother is thinking about law school, and asked me to research the career opportunities To me this seems very low, even for entry level, but I am not sure if it works different in the UK versus the US Or am I wrong in my conversion? Is 48k pounds is just under 70k USD?
Comment from : Brian J Dyck

Ever speak to the client lol?
Comment from : Dan Bill

You'll be earning £100k+ in your late 20sso I would say it is worth it
Comment from : Gman999

Now imagine what it's like for someone trying to live in London on minimum wage
Comment from : ellis

i don't understand how you make £4k a month on a 48k salary after tax brI've added up on a salary calculator and it doesn't add up
Comment from : farrah khalid

Think it’s interesting that you have to pay for student loans when in the US you always here how uk has “free” education
Comment from : Fernando Galindo

48K pounds or 65K usd per year is considered low income in the San Francisco Bay Area In the Bay Area many corp lawyers are earing 230K usd or 169K pounds per year Cost of living must be cheap where you are living
Comment from : Taco Grande

Is the power of the pound far greater than the US dollar in society? 48k a year for your level of work should be insulting
Comment from : 1Snouser

Love the transparency with this - us brits aren’t the best about being open with money, but it’s so important to be!

Comment from : boratlovesrabbits

Are you genuinely happy?
Comment from : blkgirlsarepengg

The pay is great but the unearthly hours aren’t justified, I’d much rather get to switch off each day at 530, not work weekends and take a slight pay cut
Comment from : Ted -

As an ex Londoner now living in Canada 48K is nothing for that type of job I left England 28 years ago and i earned 30K as a low level manager for a major retailer I'm shocked but well done I subbed you
Comment from : D

Comment from : Isse Ahmed

Is 48k good?
Comment from : alex

Comment from : A seuvella

There is a very high attrition rate amongst corporate lawyers in London Probably half the trainee lawyers at Magic Circle firms will not be in corporate law after 10 years……
Comment from : CCB

Quick question Do you have to fill in time sheets at the end of each week?
Comment from : Grace Tudreu

Thats crazy, here in America i make 21 an hour(other job) and after tax i only take home 2200 at the end of the month
Comment from : niti jr

$205,000 per year, or 150,000 pounds, first year associate at Skadden Arps at all their US offices But hours will be longer, maybe 60 to 80 hours per week
Comment from : Jake Moseley

48k is jack shit dude I made over 100k a new grad software engineer 50k and you are living in poverty in London
Comment from : Gamabunta2

Yes, being a lawyer or solicitor in UK doesn’t earn you a fortune, never will If we were to make a fortune in terms of a job, running own business or being an investor will be the route My friend being a business owner for a restaurant, he works 6 days a week from 9am to 9 pm, within 5 years time, he purchased two houses in CornwallbrbrSo yes, being a solicitor is good in social status and fame In end, we work for a cause, not entirely for money, however, most of us forgot why we chose this profession or any other profession in the beginning, sadly to say 💪👍brbrSo I think it’s vital to know what you get and what you lose by what we do for work, and why as well as if it’s worth it

Hi, just wondering does 'Goldam and Co Solicitors' employ Corporate lawyers? I don't know how to figure it out and hope you do

Comment from : Adonis Manyanga

4k more than me!
Comment from : Aaron Smith

That sounds about the same as what I've heard The money is about the same in Paris Tbh £2800 in London really isn't great, especially considering that all solicitors have to go through 1 year of LPC where you get paid nothing It's tough

Did you pass the Bar to get that job?
Comment from : 1 Владислав Макаров

That's very interesting Should take it one step further and calculate billable hours and hourly rate At the end, you can determine if you want to continue working for a firm or start your own practice after training period
Comment from : MeritocraticMafia

Big up T Wells 😊🙌🏻
Comment from : Samuel Cole

Keep the records for the future too I have mine (written, not video) from the 1980s onwards and it is fascinating to see how things change and how things were I had a baby as a trainee without maternity leave and worked full time We spent 50 of each of our net pay in that first year on full time childcare costs and most of the rest on commuting costs (could not afford rent close to work sadly in those days) and food and housing That baby and the others were worth it, though When I moved to working for myself and in effect keeping the hourly rate it is even better
Comment from : Jane Smith

How on earth are you only making 48k Is your gross income around 86k? Big law starts around 190k gross, doesn't it?

Comment from : SUKKU

Wait? nurses in the UK get paid a only 12 pounds/hr? OMG! Thats so sad In the US (in my state) a new nurse gets paid $32/hr which is about 22 pounds/hr And this is the pay for nurse in med/surg ICU, ER, NICU get paid so much more CRNA gets paid around 130,000 pounds/yr It is so cheap being a nurse in the UK

I decided at the grand old age of 28 that I’m going to study a bachelors degree in law with the Open University in October! (I live in the west of Scotland) And I have got to say, after watching a lot of vids (good and bad) brI really still want to do it!! brbrWhen all of a sudden the passion for study comes out of genuine interest (especially when I hated it before) it’s gotta be for a reason! Haha I’m starting my journey a little later on than most but sometimes it takes a little longer to figure things out I reckon 😜 lol cheers for the video’s Liam I thought I’d share a wee bit with you since you’ve shared so much with us! brbrKeep up the good work pal 👍🏻 brbrDavid
Comment from : DStenhouse

I just found your channel and I love it! I've completed my LLB and I'm nearly done with the LPC but with no training contract so as overwhelming it has been your channel is very refreshing and makes me feel motivated to get to work!!
Comment from : Sandra Chlopas

4:03 bankers as in investment bankers? Your assumption seems on the basis that starting investment bankers earn less that trainee corp lawyers even though they work longer hours I thought IBs would earn slightly bmore/b than that tho even in the beginning? Idk
