As far as I know, the only US firms which pay Cravath in Singapore are LW and Milbank. Getting into one of these two is practically hitting paydirt. NY salary at Singapore tax rates.

Most of the rest pay mid-Atlantic rates (above MC scale).

I've heard of only one US firm which has tried to fob off el-cheapo near local rates onto their local hires, and it was for a new disputes practice they were trying to establish. Won't name and shame because it's always risky to spread rumours about an organisation with the determination and the means to protect their reputation.
