As someone who was trained in a mid-sized firm and is currently working at a Chinatown firm, I have to say that there should be no comparison between someone working at a small-sized firm and someone from the big four/international/MCs.

Different firms cater to different needs, different clientele. It is analogous to comparing between an apple and an orange. One can say that the pay is different. But everyone’s personalities are suited for different working environments and different clients. I personally prefer to deal with private clients rather than corporate clients. Some may prefer the otherwise.

Unless you are doing a constructive comparison as to which firm can do a specific type of work better (I.e whether D&N or Davinder Singh Chambers do a better job at international arbitration), then such toxic and quixotic comparison has to stop.
