The simple answer: big 4 starting pay 5.5k. Yearly 1k increments for 5 years. Prospect of lateral-ling to offshores which pay near double after 5 years. I spoke to an assoc in practice, intending to leave after 5pqe, "sometimes it's just the money that keeps you going on those late nights". Those who leave decide they have gotten enough of this. That is not to generalise that those who stay are purely motivated by money like a donkey with carrot stick. They may truly enjoy it.

Law firms should do more to help lawyers who may be struggling to cope with the volume and pace of their work, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon said on Monday.

if it's so stressful, why are lawyers still hanging on to their misery? Why not quit. ? there's plenty of law grads anyway
or is it that they cannot take stress at all?
