I've been a trainee corporate lawyer at a magic circle law firm for just over a year now, and I also recently pinches himself hit 100K subscribers here on YouTube, so I thought it would be fun to give corporate lawyer and YouTuber life a difficulty rating across 8 categories... and ultimately decide WHICH IS MORE DIFFICULT!?

So, in this video, I compare life as a corporate lawyer with YouTube video creation, the pros and the cons of each, and rate them both for: pressure, community, fulfilment, hours, structure, control, variety and future opportunity 🤔

02:12 Pressure
05:59 Community
08:50 Fulfilment
11:43 Hours
14:59 Structure
17:35 Control
19:37 Variety of work
21:39 Future opportunities
24:19 The results

About Me

I'm a trainee lawyer, part-time YouTuber, son, brother, startup founder, boyfriend, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)!

Around that, I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this YouTube channel 😀

Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.
