Bingham shocks market with NQ salary of £100K

I don't mind admitting that I'm envious of the wage of my contemporaries at Bingham's, who probably achieved similar academic results to me. Are they worth it? Probably not; it takes more than 6 months of photocopying documents in any given department to prove that you're worth that sort of wage. Regardless of my envy at the figure, I would still be reluctant to sign away my life and work in London even for double the wage. A top regional firm in a great city such as Bristol, Cambridge etc offering a great work-life balance is a fantastic lure in itself. Personally, I'd rather earn a lesser primary wage, earn supplementary money through more enjoyable avenues during my spare time and live an extra 10 years.
