“Salaries plateau in 2009 – but for how long?”
June 30, 2009 by Damian
Have a look at this article from the Australasian Legal Business (ALB) magazine (and not just because I am quoted in it!) – http://au.legalbusinessonline.com/news/analysis/salaries-plateau-in-2009-but-for-how-long/35739.
It gives a very interesting overview of the Australian legal market and how the GFC has affected it, especially in relation to salaries.
Whether it is just that NZ firms keep this information quieter or whether they are just in better shape than their Australian counterparts is a point for discussion but it seems like we in NZ have not been hit quite as hard as our friends across the Tasman.
It would be interesting to hear some anonymous views on the subjects of salary freezes in the NZ market so if anyone wants to share some information on this subject, please do!
