What do you do? Lawyer specialized in venture capital corporate financings.
Where did you graduate? Law degree from a french Canadian university / Masters degree from Oxford university in the UK.
GPA? I kinda got lucky and graduated in top 3% (a "1+" under our system)
What degree did you earn? Law / Master in international commercial law
Starting salary? 73K$
Current salary? 108k$ Thinking of taking a government job in international relations (salary scale between 64k$ to 78k$). Lots of pros and cons about that move. Haven't come to a conclusion.
And the most important, Do you enjoy your job? No. I wouln't be thinking of changing otherwise. Some people seem to enjoy this type of work, most seem to mostly dislike it (it sounds all nice and dandy, but really is kinda boring and stressful - never thought those two would combine). People usualy do this for the money. A lot of the lawyers that I started out with, and that are still doing this, seem to have grown into it and are fine doing it.
