Working hours are crazy. Average 2am daily. Culture is hard work and no life.

Singapore Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong attributes the lack of lawyers to the low salaries and suggests an upward review. Local media reported last year that junior lawyers are paid more than double in Hong Kong, about S$11,650 a month compared to about S$4,000 in Singapore. According to the Singapore Department of Statistics, the average monthly income among employed residents was S$6,830.
This quote is a little dated from 2008, but the salary gap btw HK and SG is still the same in 2019.
