[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 121382, member: 2672"] The fact you have a TC is likely to help you secure a better salary. But it does just vary - you could easily find a US firm offering over £35k (or possibly even over £40k). But recruiters are generally working across firms and if they are working for a large international firm who are only paying trainees low £40k salaries, then its likely the paralegal salary will be under £30k. It ultimately depends how picky you want to be too though and how important the salary is to you. It also depends on whether you are paid by the hour or a fixed salary with no overtime (just an expectation you will work long hours). Many paralegals end up adding a good 20-30% on top of their base salary because of overtime, and this generally bumps them up to quite competitive salaries (sometimes out-earning trainees in the same firm).
