Salary or culture: What are candidates seeking right now?

On this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with nrol, we explore what candidates are looking for in an employer as the new financial year approaches and how best they can focus on what is most important. Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back nrol director Jesse Shah to discuss where candidates are at as the end of financial year approaches, what they are telling him about what they are seeking in FY24, whether candidates are leaning more towards having a better workplace culture or a higher salary in the coming year, and how one’s level as a lawyer may dictate such thinking. Mr Shah explains how the proliferation of burnout may be influencing the motivations of candidates moving forward, the extent to which inflation and cost of living may drive one’s thinking, the decrease in the number of firms looking to make above-CPI salary bumps, how best candidates can weigh up the various considerations in front of them, and his advice to all candidates and discusses nrol’s international expansion.
