Experience level: Junior

Looks good on CV, very stingy salary
Pros: - Looks very good on CV, I am contact by recruiters  every couple of days
- Decent work/life balance for a City job (I tend to work 8.30 - 5 with an hour for lunch)
- Lots of opportunities to go abroad on secondment
- Good at flexible working (working from home, coming in late for a doctor's appointment, etc.)
- 5 weeks' holiday is standard, plus you can buy an additional 2 weeks
Cons: - Absolutely crap pay at a junior level. I can't survive in London on this salary and have to keep getting bailed out by my parents. This is the biggest downside by a mile
- Non-existent bonus at junior level (literally £0)
- Absolutely no flexibility about awarding payrises / promotions outside of the annual once a year cycle
- Have to perform a lot of complicated and time-consuming admin tasks unrelated to your core role (e.g. navigating their terrible in-house software to raise invoices etc. -  why this isn't outsourced to a finance team, I have no idea)
