Btw earlier on some guy asked about the retention rates this year. Any associates/trainees at firms care to weigh in? Of course I'm not asking you to reveal what firm you come from or heard the news from. Just wondering what the rough numbers are like.

Let's put it this way. Majority of SG guys based in UK unis are always in their storerooms aka dorm rooms jerking off to porn thanks to fibre optic broadband.
The local market is doomed. They have already told first year UK based SG law students to go to cambodia, vietnam, china etc to look for work. They also told them to think about opening restaurants, being a journalist or a playwright etc.
What I find quite odd is SG students have to be from the scheduled list in order to be called to the SG bar? Whatever for? Why do you go through all the trouble to find yourself staring into space as far as job prospects in SG are bleak?
A Manchester Metropolitan law grad who is a UK citizen can work in the SG office of an international law firm, earn $6000 monthly, rent is paid for, work/life balance, enjoying life in SG, get a local gf so that she can assist him by settling into sunny SG etc and the dump her once he gets in touch with the expat night life circle.
