as usual they will say crap like market is bad, downward pressure on fees, economic downturn blah blah.
meanwhile the partners are still raking in more and more $$$ every year.
if you follow legal industry magazines & journals, you will know that most of the big US firms got a major NQ salary bump in 2018 and UK City firms have been steadily raising their NQ (and trainee) salaries year after year since 2015. and whenever London raises, Hong Kong follows suit
