Message: <blockquote data-quote="AvniD" data-source="post: 123569" data-attributes="member: 17155">I think pay may be one of the last things in choosing a career at the bar over a career as a solicitor at a US firm. Firstly, the style of working is completely different. With barristers being self employed, working in teams is not a regular feature of their work, unlike solicitors, who mostly only work in teams. This also means that there is a greater degree of opacity and exclusivity in working as a barrister and understanding how barristers actually work is not as easy in comparison to solicitors at law firms, who will often have their deals examined and published about in firm news and industry publications. You're also salaried when working at a firm so the degree of security may be higher than if you were a barrister because of the accompanying benefits, pension etc. But since barristers get paid for each case they work on so they many actually end up earning much more than a solicitor. Your work as a barrister may not be as globally natured as working as a solicitor at a US firm due to jurisdictional constraints, and this could also be a factor for one choosing working as one over the other.</blockquote>
