Are you in a proper international firm that practices billing by the hour?
Big four does mainly Singapore law work and local companies will not pay if you bill them by the hour. Your junior associates can only bill at a certain rate in SG dollars.
For the “real” international, they bill in USD on a per hour basis and international junior associates charge out a minimum of US$500 an hour. This justifies their pay package.
But the work they do again is for instance, US securities or international arbitration where you can command such a rate for the kind of work being produced.
