That role is definitely not paying him as much as a law firm is. Highly doubt it.
But Gemma went to Rare Recruitment, not law firm anymore. I believe that money isn't always everything. Age is matter, maybe they want to spend their time to family or personal values? We don't know as we're young so money seems everything, but I noticed US law firms' GR teams are younger than city or UK firms even the senior managers. Anyone else noticed? 🤣

Sarah at Cooley was the one exception I could remember, but she's moved on now. Lovely lady.
