Substantially less than I earned when I left university.

£1500k+ gross (approx 80k per year). :sexface:

EDIT: Oh, you mean immediately after graduating. Well I'd like to be on £600 pw if I get a good pupillage.

I'd have thought (without knowing much about law) that a successful barrister would be on a fair deal more than that? To be honest I assumed it would be well into six figures. :cool:

I'm starting next year on 37k and I'm ecstatic with it.

1000 a week. So, that would be 4k a month and 48k a year roughly.

This is fresh out of university of course.

by 30, 100k or I've not made it.

Well after my mum left uni she was on 210/230 a day so about 650 a week (not bad for 3 days :biggrin:

but she worked damned hard to qualify!)

I'd hope to be getting that somewhere down the line, but obviously the more the better :tongue:

Thats what I thought too but I heard they changed the law, now only 48 hours. And overtime isn't paid, so in reality you'll be working 80 hours to get all the patient contact you can get but you will not be paid the overtime. NHS are just using these guys as slaves.

Depends a lot on where you work and what field you work in. Some criminal barristers for example might never top £40k.

I don't know where you heard this. It's not the case.

EWTD limits you to 48 hours a week averaged over (I think) 17 weeks. However, almost all juniors sign the opt out agreement which exempts them from the directive so it's had almost no effect in reality, in the competitive areas at least. You DO get paid more though. Your pay is banded- 10, 20, up to 50% bonuses for hours over a certain amount and for antisocial hours. In Edinburgh, where I know people working, almost all the juniors do such massive hours that they earn the top 50% bonus banding, but they work 10-14 hours a day every day...

£300-400

frankly, the sort of job I want after uni is classed by annual salary, but I'll go along with this. I want to go into the creative arts industry so I expect either an unpaid internship, paid internship (but still v. little money) or an entry level job at say £16-19,000 p.a which works out as £300-370 a week approx. I also expect to have to work damn hard for this, say up to 80 hours a week.

That said I'm preparing for the worst case scenario so that I'm not disappointed when the time comes.
