London Lawyers transitioning to Finance

Hello all,

If there are any London-based ex-lawyers who managed to make the move to a finance role, I would be very grateful to hear about your experience, and whether you’re happy you made the move looking back. I’m aware it’s more common in the U.S., so interested to hear people’s experiences this side of the pond.
