Yes lawyer sir but you are conveniently excluding a year of traineeship / bar etc and also the process of lateralling from local law firms where theres some discount on years of experience. Rarely do US law firms take fresh grads directly (except Latham taking 1-2 oxbridge law grads?). In UK you also take 2 years after graduating to qualify for US biglaw starting.
Assume 2 yrs to muck around + 4 yrs xp at Latham = 300k USD thereabouts = 400k SGD.
