Although it’s uncomfortable, talking openly about money is important.

I found this video challenging to make but I was inspired by the post I saw from Sophie (https://www.instagram.com/lawwithsophie) which motivated me to put this out there.

Being more open about money will help you make a more informed decisions about your future. It might help you negotiate a better salary. Also, sometimes it can just be interesting!

This is not a video to brag about money, or my salary or anything - I don’t want it to come across that way!

So, I hope you find this video valuable and it gives you a realistic look into this important element of ‘becoming a lawyer’.
