Graduate salary

As I said, "up to" 80% extra, most people get either 20, 40 or 50 extra depending on shift patterns/antisocial hours etc

Not anywhere I know, and I've worked for some of the big 5.
If you have a look at rollonfriday it will tall you the starting salaries at every London law firm and the expected bonuses. It will also list the number of billable hours you've got to hit each year, which is an indication of how hard you have to work.
Newly qualifeds are generally on around 60-70k, but that's after you've completed your training contract which is about 30-35k.

EUWTD doesn't apply to anybody never mind doctors. Our government wussed out of applying it.
What I ment in my previous post is a maximum of 50%, but hey I'm not arguing, just going off what I heard of.
I'm almost certain that we've had EWTD for ages now. It has been that the UK has retained the right to opt out of this on an individual basis but this I think is going to be removed next year limiting everyone to a 48 hour week
That's London though isn't it? I was there last summer in the internship but this year they're sending everyone to Edinburgh.
45 min walk! eeek, time to get the bus
Yep - type it in on Google Maps. About 30 seconds from South Quay DLR, or 5mins walk from Canary Wharf Tube.
They found that it involved getting two buses. Including waiting for them to turn up, it was pretty much as quick to walk.45 min walk! eeek, time to get the bus
I walked in to a graduate job, at the end of 2007, for an IT consultancy at 24.5k and got a significant pay rise after 6 months, I guess that's pretty close to the 25k average
That figure stands for all of the UK except Wales, which have a lower starting wage for graduates....for some reason

Heres some qualification salaries, but these are as high as they get:[DOD]Asprilla;13536151 said:
Latham and Watkin - £97k (!!!)
Bingham McCutchen - £95k
Cleary Gottlied Steen and Hamilton - £92k
Paul Hastings - £90k
Vinson and Elkins £80k
Sherman and Sterling - £80k
Covington and Burling - £80k
Dewey and LeBoeuf - £80k
I'd say your first point is a bit of a generalisation, maybe at Investment Banks in middle or front office. I'll be working in the city for a very large bank and will be starting on just over 30, including sign on bonus. What uni did you go to out of interest?
How do I go about getting a job there? Do you need a degree in Law? or will they hire graduates?

Solicitor/Barrister salary averages are heavily skewed by the salaries that city firms offer.
Well said
I simply cant understand how even the brightest talent out of University could be worth £50k+ with no actual experience in the industry. It's nuts.
Because the best will grow in to the best. Basically given the right training the best graduate could become a world class expert in the field, thats why they pay so much.

Are those all US based firms? Obviously they aren't listed on ROF, but where did you get the figure from and do they classify NQ in the same way we do in the UK?
