Is the money really that good, or do I blow my entire salary on rent? Are the hours actually that bad, or do I have somewhat of a work-life balance? Have I had to give up everything I loved doing in my free time (inc. binge-watching Netflix), or do I still have time to see friends and family AND watch cr** TV? In this video, I hopefully dispel some of the false assumptions you have (that I definitely had before I started working for real) and shed light on what it is REALLY like being a trainee corporate lawyer 🙂 …………………………………………………. 👨‍⚖️ Download my LPC and GDL notes (in PDF format) for free... or get the premium notes for word document versions! 😀 https://liamporritt.com/law-notes ...................................................... My Free Trello Masterclass 'More Focus, Less Stress - Build Your Ultimate Productivity System in Trello' is my FREE course (Trello is also FREE), which you can take by signing up for a free 2-week SkillShare trial: https://skl.sh/3h2XpV1 ... The course walks you through how to build your customised version of my insanely powerful (but simple) Trello productivity system (aka the app that keeps me focused for 10 hours per day!) 📱 …………………………………………………. About Me I'm a trainee lawyer, part-time YouTuber, son, brother, startup founder, boyfriend, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)! Around that, I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this YouTube channel 😀 Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS. 📸 Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/liam.porritt/ 🌍 My little kingdom – https://liamporritt.com ………………………………………………….
