A source says that this coming autumn, Jonas has accepted a position as an assistant lawyer at one of Stockholm's most prestigious law firms Vinge, were one of Queen Silvia's godsons, Fredrik von der Esch, has his workplace. (My note: Vinge is one of Scandinavia's largest law firms with offices in Hong Kong, Brussels, Paris and London)

The source says that Jonas will start in September. Apparently he has also been a trainee at Vinge during last year, his final year of law studies.

At Vinge he will be working with m&a, mergers and acquisitions, and will receive an initial salary somewere around 23.00-25.000, which is normal for new lawyers. The office is situated at Smålandsgatan around Norrmalmstorg, which is quite a posh area, and the working days are long for lawyers in the m&a area.

It is not yet official what Princess Madeleine will be doing this autumn. The Royal Court will apparently release the info in August. Morgan Gerle at the Information and Press Department doesn't have an answer to give on the question if she will be in Sweden or abroad.

Brrr... I am not jealous of Madeleine now. My husband just turned down Vinge to work at a smaller lawfirm with more humane working hours. You should know the horror stories we have heard when we studied law about the big lawfirms. Jonas will work at least 80 hour weeks, and the M&A department should be the hardest of them all... Poor Jonas. But at least he will make A LOT of money. The lawyers there are guaranteed a payraise with 10 000 SEK/year (so next year he will earn 35 000 SEK per month). And to that they add all kinds of bonuses. But it will be a lot harder for Jonas and Madde to work on their relationship now...
