Lawyer’s Fee or Earning

Lawyers are paid for their work in a variety of ways. In private practice, they may work for an hourly fee according to a billable hour structure, a contingency fee (usually in cases involving personal injury), or a lump sum payment if the matter is straightforward. Normally, most lawyers negotiate a written fee agreement up front and may require a non-refundable retainer in advance. In many countries there are fee-shifting arrangements by which the loser must pay the winner's fees and costs. Lawyers working directly on the payroll of governments, nonprofits, and corporations usually earn a regular annual salary. In many countries, lawyers can also volunteer their labor in the service of worthy causes through an arrangement called pro bono (for the common good). Traditionally such work was performed on behalf of the poor, but in some countries it has now expanded to many other causes like the natural environment.
Before adopting the legal profession, one thing must be kept in mind that earning don’t start from day one.  But continuous and regular hardworking can make a lawyer a successful person.  There are legal aid lawyers who specialize in providing legal services to the indigent; legal aid specialists are practically nonexistent.

Considering Job Hopping... Few Tips to Keep in Mind

Job hopping is one of those subjects that is always relevant, with different people holding varying opinions on the issue. For some, holding a job for any less than four years is a sign of a short-time, while others feel that the minimum time you must remain at a job is a year and anything over two years (with no promotion or new skills growth) shows stagnation. 
In general, if you have held at lest three jobs for two years or les on your resume, you may be considered a job-hopper.  However, holding a series of jobs for less than two years each is not necessarily as a bad thing, it can be seen as a sign of an ambitious person who is constantly moving forward. 
However, staying in one position for another should ideally be based on career and personal advancement; otherwise the job-hopping pattern in your career history might reflect negatively.  And although more money and a bigger title usually end up being key factors that influence a job change, it is more important to evaluate whether you are being valued by the company as an employee with integrity, abilities and expertise. 

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when considering job-hopping:

Establish experience and attainment targets regularly, and look for new opportunities if they aren’t met.

  • Consider alternative opportunities with your current employer.
  • If anew role doesn’t match expectations, change.
  • Look before you leap.  The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
  • Know what you want before you hop and ensure that the move will provide it. 
  • Never burn your bridges.  Maintain cordial relationships with past employers, you never know when you may encounter them again.

Opportunities in Retail Management

What should I do to sustain myself other than accepting a low salary?
Is it suitable now to jump into another line as I also hold a MBA in marketing?
Should I relocate to another country, e.g. Dubai?

I have 12 years of experience in the shoe and garment retail industry.  The problem which I face is the lack of opportunities in retail management, especially in the field of men’s garments.  I would like to push my career into the higher management of garments retailing but after trying for different vacancies, I have failed to get a better opportunity.  I need a higher salary but there are limited opportunities, and I am unable to grow within the retail world.

I am sure you knew when you took on the job of retail management that it was not one of the most lucrative jobs in Pakistan, then why are you surprised by the lack of both money and opportunities in this field?
The only reason I can think of as to why you would be in retail is that you probably enjoy it.  Now why should not you enjoy it, after all, it is a fast paced, dynamic, creative and ever changing filed.  Change in retailing is what drives success.  Styles change.  Customer needs and wants evolve.  And you too can be successful in this field if you embrace change and diversity your experience. 
No need to look abroad, the fledgling Pakistani retail industry is about to explode.  You will be ale to ride the wave of success if you diversify your retail experience to include buying and merchandising, store design and planning and product development.  How do you get such exposure?  By volunteering your services of course! You would be crazy to think that someone would pay you for it right now, but by getting practical experience pro bono, you will mould yourself into a much sought out retail professional.  And if you are an entrepreneur at heart, then you will e able to look into opportunities such as new venture start ups, franchising.
