Because that’s a small fraction of law jobs, and as I said, the expectation with these jobs is that you basically work 1.5 times normal full time hours. I have friends who are senior associates at magic circle law firms and their idea of quiet is leaving at 8. Heavy is after midnight. It’s a different world - I don’t know anyone doing that in tech outside early stage founders. Outside magic circle et al, salaries are lower and hours are more normal. Also, before they become a grad but after university they spend 2 years doing what’s known as a “training contract” while they do their professional quals. and the pay is much lower during this time. Graduate in law is after this period.
