“I work in the research and information department of a mid-sized law firm in the City. Before that I was working in a magic circle firm doing much the same role. Between these jobs I have moved with my husband to the Home Counties, and I commute into London. A nightmare at the best of times!

“In my current position, I am just not feeling fulfilled, and the commute is draining. I have considered finding a legal job where I live, as I wouldn’t have to commute anymore and we could raise a family, but realise that I would have to take a pay cut (which I am willing to do), and positions are few and far between.
