Getting boring now, Poopert.

]]>If you moved to UAE that’s your fault. No pity for overseas/offshore lawyers: you moved there for a reason.
]]>No one cares.
]]>No… as senior associates get paid 340 + 100 GBP bonus at US versus half that at SC
]]>Can we stop pretending Slaughters is MC? Not denying it’s a good firm but it’s objectively closer to Macs or Travers than CC or Links and thus wrong to even compare with them
]]>Where’s this intel coming from? NRF just raised NQs to 125k and won’t be raising again anytime soon..

Chicken feed, dear boy/girl/nonbinary.

]]>Wrong. Completely wrong.
They only care about NQ rates. It’s well known that the junior lawyers in PQE 1-4 are really closely bunched. And yes there will be NQs somewhere being paid more than PQE1 and 2. It happens.
]]>Source?
]]>If this is true and the SC are raising to around 140, the impact on US firms still paying 150 will be devastating.
If you’re a prospective candidate choosing between NRF/HogLov or W&C/Covington, surely you’d take the 10k paycut (only approx £450/month after tax) for less of a beasting in a nicer environment?
Sorry to labour the point, but I wonder why firms wouldn’t just increase the salaries of 2-7 PQEs in that case. NQ and 1PQE salary stays the same, but there’s a 20k bump for everyone after that. Why isn’t that even considered?
]]>Macs raising to 140. TS to 139 and NRF to 135k
]]>You’ve missed the point lmao.
The first commenter was saying the NQ market is in turmoil and firms may not feel as pressured to match raises if they know their juniors aren’t going anywhere.
The other commenter who responded was saying the salary increases are not aimed at NQs.
Sure the end result is the same but the reasoning the first commenter gave was not correct which is what was pointed out.
Hope this helps.
]]>Isn’t the end of result the same though?
Regardless of the reasoning, firms are still going to increase NQ salaries (to keep 2-7PQEs happy)?
]]>Most firms bunch the same way sadly
]]>So really, it’s a subtle way of saying they are raising salaries of those above NQ? But then isn’t there not going to be much raise for each year of PQE? Wouldn’t junior associates want to look elsewhere if say, 1PQE pays 150k, 2PQE 155k etc
