Okay going back to salary. I understand that those International firms are not expanding anymore so they are just taking trainees to maintain headcount. Besides the horrible hours, international firms also do RETRENCHMENT when times are bad. So yeah retrenchment of lawyers is pretty much unheard of local big firms.

Seriously? I think 4.2k is the minimum i will take for this rubbish job really. Otherwise i rather go work for a bank as mediocre analyst and use my qualifications to do pro bono.
