life in private sector is no better. i am a lawyer who is moving into public sector, offered on mx12 scheme. i have 2 years+ post qualification experience.

people might think, why is a lawyer going into the public sector? don't you earn a lot in a law firm? the answer is - yes and no. you earn a lot if you are in the big firms, but i have been practicing in a middle size firm and some places find all ways and means to underpay you. even if you do well in your performance, you will not be given a bonus because of reasons like "the firm is preparing for the economy" and "your collections (i.e. when you send out bills for legal work and when people pay, that's collections) are not enough". a lot of lawyers like myself are leaving for other places, more increasingly go into the public sector because it is "fair" and often you are not shortchanged.

having considered options, i think public sector is a better bet especially with the recession coming on and the economy in the doldrums.

it depends on your definition. a "good" lawyer must not only know how to fight and win cases, but he must also know how to market himself and make big bucks.

by my definition, lawyers who aren't paid well aren't good enough.
