How much do you thing education or certification boosts salary in this field? I am currently getting my master’s and am wondering how much of a pay increase I am likely to get from this time and financial investment. If you have gotten a master’s, excluding an MBA, how much of a difference did it make in your salary?

Typos on posts about education are really the best.

Sorry about that! Was not proofreading

At this point your connections matter more than your education or certifications, with some exceptions. You’ll have to ask around at each company from people who are in the same field and career trajectory their employer’s considerations

Interesting!! Thanks

They help more with getting your initial couple of jobs rather than down the road. What matters more is the type of experience you have, the years of experience, and who you know.

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?
