In our sunny island, you will never be outta a job! RHT will absorb you at a great reduction to your intl firm pay thanks to charitable management.
RHT will even keep the arrangements private. DRD will punish you if you disclose your pay.
Huat ah! Sinkie firms savings many many!

Slogging it out in a small or mid tier Sinkie law firm on paltry $6K $7K $8K pay is really one of the dumbest things you can do. The only upside to working in a B4, also sweatshops, is the shot at better exit options to international firms.
A small or mid tier local firm provides you no such opps. If you ever find yourself in one of these outfits, GTFO as soon as you can. The effort-to-reward ratio is simply not worth it. You can get much better lifestyle in other non-high-flyer corporate jobs for the kind of paltry pay mid tiers are paying their lawyers.
