First, when you get the qualification of the judicial examination (it is said that it is the first examination in China), it is only the beginning of being a lawyer, and the road ahead will be very difficult. In other words, when you are qualified as a lawyer, you are qualified for the Long March.
Second, the developed cities you mentioned certainly have more development opportunities for all lawyers. Remember, they are opportunities.
Third, knowledge in books is not very important for lawyers. I'm sorry, this may be different from some people's point of view, but I think the most important thing for a lawyer is "professional experience", that is, the degree of your specific participation in handling cases.
Fourthly, regarding income, I don't know what the income of lawyers in Beijing and Shanghai is. But for lawyers in Shijiazhuang, the gap is very big, really big. Some earn tens of millions a year (my teacher), while others earn less than 10 thousand a year.
Fifth, regarding interns and assistants, intern lawyers have basically no income here, and most of them can only cooperate with teachers if they have a case source. Assistant, as far as I know, old lawyers with assistants usually pay their living expenses privately and rarely sign clear salary contracts. Only Hebei Jihua gave 1 0,000 yuan in the name of the firm (the partners of the firm must bring an assistant, and the salary is paid from the profits).
Sixth, the job is easy to find. Many law firms recruit interns, assistants and professional lawyers every year, but they all make money. . . . . As mentioned above.
Seventh, although the so-called interpersonal relationship is important, I think it is more important how you "explore" relationships and customers.
