Placement salary

[Pola123]

Hi guys,

I just got an offer for an undergraduate placement at an international law firm in London and I feel like the salary is too low for London. Do you think it’s wise for me to request an uplift or at least ask for relocation support since I will be coming from outside England?

Just to clarify, by placement, you mean a vacation scheme?

Internships (less than six weeks) tend to be anywhere between £400-600 per week.

Sandwich years as part of an academic course tend to be slightly lower than this where they are a year long placement. They are typically somewhere between £21-28k per annum.

A one year placement. Similar to an industrial placement
