Enjoyed watching this vlog. Very informative. Happy to be a new subie
Hello new subbie!
Welcome to the family ❤️
Amaaazing video. Just wondering what your thoughts are regarding work-life balance. As someone who wants to have kids/a family in the future and actually spend time with them, the hours make me a little anxious. Is there an area of practice that typically isn't super time-intensive? I've heard that litigation hours are brutal :/ This makes me sound so lazy but that's not the case at all, I am genuinely such a hard worker...I just want to have a life outside of work and not have to wait for the weekend to "live". Maybe I'm naive...or delusional lol! Seems like with covid and working from home, there is a little bit of flexibility with how you spend your time though? Anyway, I would appreciate your insights. Thanks for an awesome video.
Hi Tumi
Thank you for such a great question.
The hours when you start are hectic in whichever area of law you go into and I guess people choose to just sacrifice and give themselves a few years to advance in their career. Usually after a certain level, a lot of people go in house if they want to start a family etc. I do think it’s possible to still stay in practice with a family but I believe you will need a lot of support.
I will say that the flexibility that came with Covid showed us all that it is possible to work from home and in some way have a work life balance.
I'm in my first year studying a law degree 😍 . I also want to become a coprate lawyer. This video is very helpful and inspiring . Thank you 👐 .
This is beyond inspirating ❤.
Thank you so much for watching ❤️

I really enjoyed watching this video. May you like do a video whereby you explain or like tell us about how to do a Curriculum Vitae when applying for vacation jobs as a student. What can a person add to make their Curriculum Vitae stand out? Cause I believe it's not only about meeting the requirements
Notification gang 😁👏🏾
Yay! Love it for the notification gang. ❤️
nice channel...best regard from Indonesia lawyer
Looking at the building you work at, I think we work for the same corporate company, I'm just CPT based🤭 love your vlog ❤️❤️
Are you at Bowmans 😀?
Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️
@@theviks9236 No the blue insurance company, but in IT
I finish matric this year and I'm about to venture into coporeate law.
Do you mean you are about to start your law degree ?
I am currently a student and found this so inspiring for my future life! You don't have to answer this but how much do you make as CA at Bowman's and was it worth it getting your LLB?💕
Quality content!
If you ever want a mentee
Did you do your articles at Bawmans, if so when did you apply and what were you marks when you applied ?
How do you juggle your personal life with work considering the late working hours?
Hi from South African vloggers 🇿🇦 😀 ❤️ 🌍
..
Hello 😊😊
Woman of valor love u my beautiful young lady….
Thank you so much
Hello,
Love the content.
Question:
I graduated from Uni of Pretoria with LLb about 6 years ago, my marks were very average (50-60) I left country and eventually got a job teaching at a university jn europe.
I want to get back into law in SA.
I applied for LLM through unisa as I think an LLM would give me a better chance of getting decent articles in the near future.
I know it's not best/advised against to do LLM before articles, but do u have any experience or know someone who has done so??
Any advice or word on this would be appreciated.
Thanks again so much for the amazing content. O star 🌟
Edit: the LLM I applied for is in Tax law. I also did a business admin undergrad degree abroad, will graduate beginning next year, so I really want to work in corporate.
Also, what do u think my chances are in SA, as I am not yet so clued up about the work environment
I Love your content❤️❤️
Where did you study??
Great Content Mate I Love this Series can you kindly Advice given that an individual wants to advance with their studies would you advice him to register part-time ,full-time you response will be highly appreciated. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi Sakhile. I think this is a personal decision. I’m currently doing my masters part time and I think I wouldn’t have managed if it were full time. So in my view, part time is best because of my demanding job.
@@theviks9236 Tshidi Thank You Very Much for your informative Response I reAlly appreciate it 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Which subject's you should work on harder.... in high school level ?
How many Marks /levels you should get ? In high school
A which university you should go ?
The sound of the shoes make me feel like I am at work LOL.
Is it hard to get hired as a corporate lawyer after graduating with your LLB
Hi Tshidi, I have my little sister who is interested in doing law but she’s very much worried that she won’t be able to get a job because she has been told that lawyers find it VERY difficult to get employed. Is it true?
HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH CONTRACT LAW MY GOD. I'M A 3RD YEAR BCOM LLAW STUDENT AND JESU YOH KU ROUGH
Do you know if Boston City Campus is a credible college? Like good enough for you to be able to get a job in the legal sector with their LLB degree in Law? Please help if you have any info🥺🙏🏾.
This was beautiful to watch. What kind of instructions do you get for work? Or what are you doing when working as a corporate attorney? Is it drafting opinions?
Hi NK
It’s really a vast amount of work which various from drafting merger filings, drafting complaints referrals or responding to those. Opinions are definitely some of the work we do. Competition law also has a litigation aspects about it where decisions can go as far as the Constitutional Court.
There’s much more to it than the way I’m explaining it but that’s the gist.
Its been so long I missed theViks
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do you normally accept 3rd/4th year assistant volunteers? To give us a brief of the office work compared to university studies.
Also what inspired you to take the Corporate field of Law?
Hey Teddy!
Yes, Bowmans accepts students for vacation work. Please check out their website for more details.
I really didn’t choose. I just kinda fell into it based on the firm I got articles at. I did various rotations and fell in love with competition law
Thank you so much my dear.
Can I do my articles while still studying? Or do I need the degree to do articles? In Accounting you can do SAIPA or SAICA articles while still studying, I'm wondering if it's the same with law.
You need a degree to do articles
Hey babe 🧚🏽♀️I'm currently doing my second year as a law student. Which subjects should I primarily focus on in order to become a commercial lawyer???
Hey Taryl
To be honest, I didn’t really do any corporate subjects besides the ones that were prescribed.
You literally learn everything on the job. Recruiters, from my experience, do not really consider the subjects you choose as electives. You should always choose subjects that you will enjoy and work from that basis
@@theviks9236 Thanks so much for the feedback babe 💖
hello aus tshidi I am finishing my bcom soon after that I want to Study LLB. Is there some job I can get whilst studying LLB something to be busy with to be able to pay for my LLB fees and get a job with my bcom law degree where can I apply with my bcom law degree
How I wish this comment was answered, I can relate
We missed you 🌹💫
i’m in grade 10 & i need sum advice how to be a corporate lawyer 😭😭🙏🙏🙏
You should get a tripod ☺️
I have a Bcom Accounting degree but im actually interested in being a corporate lawyer. Should I study commercial law or...?
no you do an LLB if you want practice as a corporate lawyer
and to actually become a lawyer irrespective of practice area, you need an LLB
@@amohelanghlalele7425 got it. Thank you sis.
please estimate a corporate lawyers salary
How much is your salary?🥰
As a bcom law student , I'm between working or doing 2 years llb. Any advice please
Do 2yrs LLB babe ❤
@@lebonemahlake833 this vlog inspired me so much, I am already searching the best universities❤️
Hy I got an ask. Can I do corporate law with an LLB degree?
Hello.
Yes. Corporate law is a specialty that one chooses after completing an LLB.
@@theviks9236 ohk, thanks🙏 keep pushing🍻
Do they allow you at bowmans if you invited me for a day to shadow you? ❤️❤️
Hi Bridget
I’ve recently enquired about this at work but unfortunately they don’t allow for university students to job shadow. Job shadowing is only for high school learners. Varsity students are required to apply for vac work
Can one get into corporate law without doing their bcom?
Yep! I didn’t do a bcom, I did a BA. Really most of the work you learn it on the job. So definitely yes
@@naomitshibangu7331 yes, they do.
@@naomitshibangu7331 even webber wentzel has unisa grads as CAs
@@naomitshibangu7331 its a lie Unisa is a university like any other llb is llb..i work with lot of unisa graduates
I nearly mistook you for Fifi(Power Fm). 😂
Lapho awusemuhle mfazi womuntu nokuhlakanipha kwakho 😩
Do you (attoneys) argue at court?
Those that have right of appearance can but from my line of work, it’s not often they do.
how come you dont show us your meals? we want to see what you eat. How can it be "a day in the life" with no food?
Ah next time! 🙂
Is becoming an advocate worth it?
Hi Noku
That question can probably be best answered by advocates (which I’m not one). Check my Instagram live recordings, I have interviews with advocates there and it may help with answering your questions. ❤️
Thanks😍
Can you please be my mentor via online
Hi aus Tshidi, how can one get a hold of you?
Hi sis
You can email me on tshidimalete@gmail.com and we can chat further. Im also very accessible on Instagram ❤️
This is why corporate woman are side chicks....when do you get the time to cater to me, be a WIFE and MOTHER 😆 😅 😂
hhayi ngeke
Let’s just say I’m glad I married a man that sees value in an ambitious women. And to assume that my job diminishes my ability to be a good wife and mother says a lot about the kind of man you are.
No successful, educated man thinks this...if youre threatened by successful women say that.
@@theviks9236 That, ''you arent a man '' , nonsense doesnt work on me....shaming tactics are old
Being politically correct doesnt pan out in real life. You might be the exception, but ive been with so many high and might corporate women
I find that they attach so much of their identity to a damn degree, something everyone has these days. So what you graduated cum laude, the real world doesnt care...its about being socially savy
Take away that degree and wats left?? lol
You are married and seem to have a warmth to you....lol enjoy the marriage ngempela
@@prudym7305 really that simple sis ❤️. We can’t diminish our accomplishments and goals because a man believes our purpose is to cater to him. Count me out.
@@ntwenhle.maz1 I honestly dont care about a womans success or money...its not like uzongodla. Im in no way intimidated. My money is our money, ur money is ur money
It's the mentality that comes with success.In my experience, women dnt knw hw to handle power. They become overconfident & abuse it
Even women wud rather have a male boss. 😂
Hi Aus Tshidi..may I please text you privately...I need advice on something.I would really appreciate your advice
Hi sis
Can you email me and I will share my number?
@@theviks9236 definitely...thank you so much
@@theviks9236 sorry...I forgot to ask...may I please have you email address..thank you
