Lawyers' salaries catch up with investment bankers'

Yes but... I read this article with interest as a first year trainee on £38,000 who has a number of friends working at Investment Banks due to the fact that we all studied maths. Although my starting salary was slightly above my friends (who started two years ago) they did all manage to take home bonuses of over 100% of salary. I believe that while we trainee solicitors are arguably overpaid given our capabilities, we are still a long way behind many banks. Still, I suppose we shall have to see the results next year given current bonus prospects...
