[QUOTE="SSmith, post: 110403, member: 19961"] So a couple of months ago I applied for an admin role with Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett on a whim and totally forgot about. Thursday afternoon I got a call asking if I'm still interested and if could do a zoom interview Friday . It went really well and it's a role I can definitely do. Hours are great and I get 2 days WFH. But the pay! I think I low balled myself for the amount of experience I have🤦🏽♀️ (I don't know why I said I'd be happy with 27-30k!) So they're offering 28k , which is great for a new grad who lives with their parents. (Edited to say but I'm not either of those, I'm about to do my post grad and I rent my own flat.) I mentioned I knew it was an entry role and he admittedly confirmed I'm one of the more experienced applicants. He explained that this is the most he has been able to get for this role from the higher ups BUT I can basically do as much over time as I'd like. The role is 40hrs pw. We ended the conversation with him saying to think things over and if I have any questions to email him or HR. I sat and looked at my budget and as someone who lives in London, 28k really doesn't stretch far. I've worked out it would be the same as the rate I get on disabled benefits, once rent is paid and it's just not worth it. But the opportunities in that firm are awesome and this - being a non law grad would be amazing to have on my CV. It's a perfect foot in the door ! It's ultimately the type of firm I'd love to work for as a paralegal and as a solicitor, once qualified. I'm so unsure of what to do. I know they're desperate to fill this role ,so if all goes well I could start in the next week -2 weeks. Could I maybe try an negotiate if offered the role? [/QUOTE]
