Loool birds are taking the piss, why can’t they just bump it up to 100k I would feel I’m being trolled if I was an NQ there

Legal Cheek seem to have left a typo – there’s no way that law firms can be paying NQs that little.

I mean 98k is good whack and if it’s to be true the hrs are reasonably bliss at B&B, very good deal imo

Culture at B&B is indeed excellent (having worked at a range of MC and SC firms previously) so i expect they can probably get away with this unlike many firms

In reply to SQE-er. Using culture-er to justify-er underpaying-er is non-sensical-er. The culture-er doesn’t pay-er for the long hours-er that B&B lawyers-er do in fact-er work-er.

Bird & Bird is likely one of the few firms that can actually get away with saying their culture justifies their lower pay imho. 98k at Bird and Bird is arguably pretty good.

Going from 95k to 100k and 98k respectively feels incredibly stingy… no doubt Sheds will do the same…
