[QUOTE="Donzi, post: 35212, member: 1859"] Hi all, As TC/VS applications start opening, I would like to be more considerate of the factors that I take into account when applying. One of the main factors is pay. I understand that with most firms, higher pay equals less free time. I am quite a family orientated person and enjoy spending time socialising with friends. Therefore, having free time is important to me and I consider it to be more important than having a huge salary. With the above in mind, what do you consider is a 'comfortable' salary for someone living in London who wants to be able to buy a flat, have a decent car, go on holiday and raise a family? Also, if I were to train at a firm such as Pinsent Masons (or any other similar tier firm) would I be able to move up the ladder upon qualification e.g. magic/silver circle? Or, would my options be limited? Apologies for the long thread, but I really want to take this application cycle serious and give it my all this time. Thank you to everyone taking the time to read and respond to this! [/QUOTE]
