I have years of experience and transferable skills

In the latest instalment in our Career Conundrums series, one doctor and soon-to-be trainee is considering asking her future firm for more money.

“I am a doctor with years of experience and transferable skills to law. I was wondering if I can negotiate my training contract salary to better reflect this? If so, how would I go about raising this and would I put my offer at risk?”

Legal Cheek is hosting a FREE virtual event on Thursday, 19 May, to explore the options for prospective career changers looking to enter the legal sphere from other industries. Limited places are available; sign-up now.
