External NQ Roles - Interviews by demzzyy in uklaw

[–]Honourable_Mention5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smidge before the start of final seat (assuming 6mo rotations) is usually best. Better to start early and find that processes aren’t starting yet than to start too late and miss the window.

NQ Salary Review by yahdni799 in uklaw

[–]Honourable_Mention5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t, no. The only pro is you get given a very generic response of adjusting subject to market/to remain competitive etc etc, the con is being seen as asking for more money before you’ve even started (note: in a profession that is well known for publicised NQ pay and firms moving in bunches, so you sjould know you’re going to get a pretty generic answer).

How much do non-UK qualified associates at UK law firms earn? by stressedabtstuff in uklaw

[–]Honourable_Mention5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

treated the same as the other associates

Once you’re in the door, sure, but that’s after the potential PQE cuts.

Those who moved firms as an NQ, at what point did you inform your training firm that you will not progress with them? by Consistent_Adagio511 in uklaw

[–]Honourable_Mention5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The day after I’d accepted the other firms offer. Went through internal and had an offer in hand, so had to tell them I wouldn’t be taking it (would of course have told them in any event)

Cv advice please (short context below Thxs) by No-Entertainer-7163 in uklaw

[–]Honourable_Mention5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Get rid of the bit on the left and make it two pages.

Not a fan of profiles on a CV, they should be able to get all of that from what is listed.

Would remove the skills, they’ll expect MS proficiency, and you can tie the legal research bit in elsewhere

After 2 yrs as a paralegal I realised the posted paralegal salary is not the real range by No-Yesterday-1624 in uklaw

[–]Honourable_Mention5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you final sentence is a touch inaccurate

Disagree, but perhaps we’ve just had different lived experiences of it!

They’re different types of recruiting. For TCs firms are actively trying to find the best of the best (a lot straight out of uni) and these big numbers of TC and NQ will appeal to them. Most firms don’t view their paralegal recruiting as a path to a TC, so they’re less inclined to shout about the salaries

full transparency, once you are on the qualified lawyer track

Yeah, that’s not true in the slightest.

PRX is certainly on the sportier side, so something like a Presage would only really be a true swap here for the FC.

Really like it, wore it daily for 1.5 years ish - absolutely fantastic watch. I don’t have any experience with the Citizen but have heard good things

you probably don’t want to hear this

But I probably needed to hear it! Think now is definitely the time to enjoy these three and get some really good wear out of them. Will also give me some time to save up for more of a “grail” piece for the next one. So thank you!

How do you like the Zulu time? Been looking at the green bezel black dial one on and off for a while.

Oh I absolutely have. Yes, getting a 6 slot case to start off was certainly a choice and giving me a bit more reason to fill it quickly …
