On the one hand, you should do whatever you need to do to survive. On the other hand, you are a lawyer and doing paralegal work may not be as beneficial (since it is a supporting role) and not that well paid. Hell you wont even be able to clock your PQE.

Honestly, I wont consider anything below SGD 3800 even if the times are bad. By succumbing to these practices, you are encouraging the public to think it is alright to hire freshly minted lawyers like us for a significantly lower salary. I would say, maybe try to look for in house roles temporarily or wait till the right offer comes by. (FYI the lawyer who replaced me in my previous law firm was unemployed for a year, so if you can then just wait it out.)
