I’m in Marketing & BD at a UK national law firm and have been considering senior roles at international firms in the City. The work looks exciting but the salaries…honestly underwhelming.

For roles that demand strategic thinking and direct revenue impact, why are so many City-based law firms paying so far below other industries and in some cases, barely more than regional or national firms?

If you work in a City firm, is the move worth it, or is it all “prestige” and no pay-off?

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads.

I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
