Good day! Earlier we discussed the question of the salaries of lawyers in the US, and you said that many lawyers in the US do not earn a lot of money. Just above you mentioned salary 50 - 60k a year. I will give approximate figures for annual salary for lawyers in Kazan on fresh vacancies and today's exchange rate.
1) Lawyer - work with contracts, customer consultation, participation in court sessions - maximum salary per year 7.953 USD. 2) Lawyer - legal maintenance of activity of the company, working with government agencies, working with contracts the maximum salary in a year 6.959 USD. 3) Lawyer - full legal support of company activities, Methodical management of legal work' the development of local normative acts and other legal documents. - minimum(with a probability of 94% and the maximum wager is not much higher + / - $ 150) salary per year 7.953 USD. 4) Lawyer - legal counseling and adoption of a package of documents from the client. Writing claims, writs, motions. Representation of interests in court of the plaintiff - the maximum salary in a year 3.976 USD. 5) Lawyer - legal support of business activities of the Company. Administration of claims, mostly collecting debts is the maximum salary in a year 4.971 USD.
Perhaps this is enough, the rest of the vacancies are not much different in terms of wages.
Now imagine such a situation. Young and beautiful Shannon arrives in Kazan in 2015, she takes a job as a lawyer, with a maximum salary per year 8.000 USD. If Shannon can buy an apartment on credit, with such salary? The probability of this is hard to predict, but I would rate the probability of denial of credit (in different banks) in the region of 40 - 50 percent, because Shannon for these banks can be unreliable client, and it is a small apartment with an area of 350 sq ft, no parking, with neighbors alcoholics, etc. Other things (clothes, poor quality food, electronics, etc.) will be more accessible to Shannon, maybe someday she'll even be able to buy cheap (by "Russian standards") Korean car, because salary 8.000 USD is a relatively good salary for Kazan. By the standards of western countries Shannon is quite poor lady who lives in a poor country. The main point of this post is that the standard of living in Russia is relatively low (at least to look at salaries above), and when you say that many lawyers in the USA receive little salary, you are not talking about the fact that they have very tight(or am I mistaken?), but when we talk about a lot of lawyers in the RF who receive low salaries, the issue here is more about survival (example with Shannon in Kazan, it is rather an example of a successful lawyer in the RF).
Off. About salaries.
