Lawyer Salary

Some poster here ask what will happen to jobs in a recession.

Just have to ask some of your banking law seniors who were in the industry in 2008 during the global financial crisis.

Highly suggest that you mortgage your house and do the JD now. Your wife and kids will thank you that their hubby / papa is striving to build his best career for their futures!

LOL you might as well tell him to sell his house and a kidney then put it all in crypto

I work very long hours and I am at a good place in terms of career development. I’m currently in my mid 20s and my parents started saying it will be impossible for me to find a partner given my hours and given that I probably wouldn’t find anyone on par with me in terms of career.

I know odds are against me, but any advice as to how I can find a suitable partner while having a good career please?

No trolls please.

This guy is fear mongering. The MCs were still hiring and deals were being done. The banking lawyers switched to doing restructuring work instead.

Any lawyers facing this situation? Would be good to hear people’s views and how to manage this.

The fact that you're asking for a partner on par already demonstrates that your priorities are all wrong tbh. Better for you to remain single.

The problem is that there are too many of these small Chinatown firms with crap subpar lawyers of questionable educational/professional pedigree running amok and sullying the profession. There's no institutional standards or safeguards.

In France, notary publics practice individually but are state employees.

My solution to solve this problem of crappy small firm Chinatown standards:

make it compulsory for all law practices to have a minimum of 20 practising lawyers. No firm will be allowed to operate with fewer than 20 lawyers. All other lawyers not practicing in law firms will be civil servants employed by the state, like the French notary public model.
