I'm in my final-year at NUS, 2:2. Have been offered a TC at a small corporate firm, but it is unpaid. Been applying to other firms with no reply. I know it's a pretty raw deal and I will be negotiating for a basic allowance.
My end goal is just use this to get qualified and then move in-house. I do have savings and side hustles that I can subsist on over the TC period.

Assuming the offer doesn't improve + I don't get other corporate offers, is it justified or is the market for 2:2 corp firms better than this? .

I'd say keep trying, but prospects aren't good. I know of 2.2s without connections who have gotten paid TCs, but these TCs are generally with chinatown firms and for low salary ($800 to $1200). This was 5 years pre-covid though.

Agreed just keep trying for other firms first! Know that you have worth and don't let this rubbish firm take advantage of you. Find a firm that appreciates you.

Trust me, if you accept this unpaid TC, you will regret it during your training period. When you are toiling away for the firm on late nights, you will grow to resent the firm for exploiting you. Also, you would be indirectly condoning the firm's unethical practice of exploiting trainees as free labour and spoiling the market for ur juniors.

I am really curious as to which firms don’t pay for TCs...so far I have yet to hear of any firms not paying anything.

I know of a top litigator who has been mentioned in recent posts who took on a trainee even though he didn't have the requisite PQE, wasted the poor trainee's time and even tried to cover it up by offering to employ him as a legal executive instead.
