Unless her new colleagues find her as annoying as her previous ones and she is 'managed' out of the business. To quote one of my favourite lines from game of thrones 'there's no cure for being a cunt'I reckon it’s counted as a secondment so she went a lot quicker which will turn into a full time perm job
the six figure salary seemed more than adequate compensation for the long hours…To be honest I don't blame her for leaving. I'm just finishing my law degree and I can't imagine doing that, the LPC, a masters and being expected to work the hours they work in big firms. It would kill most people's enthusiasm for the job

This is the thing, money is valuable to a certain point, I would imagine her getting a partner has affected her perspective on thingsA six figure salary doesn't make up for missed family time, the gruelling hours, the pressure put on you - money doesn't solve everything
i agree, but for someone whose entire personality has been constructed around the idea of being a solicitor and a “magic circle” trainee there is literally no way that eve went into this job without an inkling of what life would be like. It is often the case that that the people who excel in their law degrees struggle with legal practice…A six figure salary doesn't make up for missed family time, the gruelling hours, the pressure put on you - money doesn't solve everything
But a six figure salary for a few years in your twenties will set you up nicely with a house deposit and the start of a decent pension before you step back or away.A six figure salary doesn't make up for missed family time, the gruelling hours, the pressure put on you - money doesn't solve everything
Well done for knowing it's not for you, I know plenty of law grads who only figured that out further down the line! There seems to be lots of rose tinted glasses in Law Schools.To be honest I don't blame her for leaving.

Oh I want to stay in law, but I've definitely moved away from the "magic circle" ideal that a lot of people seem to have, people think it's all high flying and Suits-esque, but I've found a job in a small-town, family firm where there's none of that pressure and it's 40 hours a week and done. Is it the same pay? No, but I'm good with thatWell done for knowing it's not for you, I know plenty of law grads who only figured that out further down the line!

I mean it’s really not that bad, I’m scrolling on my iPad rn lol. I personally find the job incredibly interesting, like I’m currently working on a takeover of two of my favourite beauty companies. You only get that kind of work in the city. And the hours in corporate can really die down as it’s so deal dependent. WFH has also made seeing family during the week easier.A six figure salary doesn't make up for missed family time, the gruelling hours, the pressure put on you - money doesn't solve everything
I agree! I really like my job as well. It can become super intense...but not always. The work and clients are really quite cool and I get most of my weekends completely off. I do often work fairly late into the evening but - at least at this stage in my life - I don't mind that. The money is a bonus and I personally think we are overpaid for what we do lol haha but not gonna complain.I mean it’s really not that bad, I’m scrolling on my iPad rn lol.

From what I gather Eve just never really cared about the reality of the job and wasn’t very good at her job. No respected 4th year trainee does a legal tech seat sorry, you would be wanted too much in more prominent departments
I can't wait to find out how much I can get off a skillshare membership using her discount code.She's posting a video about leaving law tomorrow. She teased it on her Instagram stories
ooh fun game! Take a drink every time she mentions STEM.Drink every time she will say “disrupt the industry”
