Let’s start at the top of the food chain. There are two companies in the world with more than US$ 2 Trillion market cap each. One is Apple, the other one is Microsoft.
APPLE VERSUS MICROSOFT
A simple online search reveals that Apple pays anything between US$200-230k per year to its lawyers:
APPLE
MICROSOFT
In contrast, a Microsoft attorney makes around US$ 200k per year!
One salary report even shows Microsoft paying as high as US$ 300k to an international business lawyer working there!
Now, though these salary-reports are based on US lawyers’ packages, you must bear in mind that both these companies have multiple offshore offices all around the world. All these offices also employ business lawyers.
For example, the London, Singapore and Mumbai offices of Apple have multiple job-openings listed in Google-Jobs, as do other offshore offices – as a simple Google-search will reveal.
Likewise, other than multiple live openings in the several of its US-based offices, Microsoft also has openings in Singapore, Dubai, Sunderland, Gurgaon/Gurugram and many other posh and exotic locations globally – as you will find currently listed in Google-Jobs.
PAYROLL OF ANOTHER BIGGIE
Apple and Microsoft are not the only two corporate-giants of the world. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, USA, Alphabet Inc, alias Google, is reportedly paying nearly US$ 400k per year to its senior corporate counsel!
The bottomline is simple. There are crazily high-paying jobs with cush salaries and perks waiting for you should you choose a career in international business law and have the right skills for the same.
And from what the pundit-s say, this growth in opportunities and salaries is here to stay. This is because the ongoing high demand for and low supply of aptly skilled international business lawyers is here to stay!
WHAT DOES THIS GROWTH MEAN FOR YOU?
This growth means prosperity for you, as you must have already figured out. But how will you procure those right skills that the new age global business environment demands out of its lawyers?
Classroom based rote learning is not enough. The academic pedagogy of law schools and law colleges is not oriented towards upskilling their learners.
What you need is practical skill building that will help you impress your recruiters and stand out in your profession as an international business lawyer.
