Attracting the right talent is becoming increasingly difficult, especially in specialist markets like legal finance. Many employers are finding that traditional approaches (e.g. job ads and salary-led incentives) aren’t delivering the quality or engagement they need.

When aiming for an internal promotion, understanding how salary expectations align with your experience is critical - especially in competitive fields like legal finance. Misjudging this balance can unintentionally weaken your chances, particularly when external candidates are being considered alongside you.
