Lawyer Salary

Will there be a day again where there is a shortage of lawyers like before

Any kind soul willing to share the payscale for NRF, Hogan Lovell's & Herbert Smith? For 2 pqe and above

how is the TC in a typical mid size SG firm compared to a TC in London?

Say if I’m getting a divorce, and I do not want to give half of my assets to my ex wife (soon to be), can I transfer all my money to my parents’ bank account?
I have more than $5 million

No you cannot. That will be construed as intentional hiding of assets in matrimonial proceedings. If discovered, it will highly detrimental to your case and you can expect an unfavourable judgement

As parents are too close to you, this will be easily discovered.
You , however, can dissipate your assets to a trusted third party like me.
I guarantee you your five million will be safe with me.

the gold diggers will surely have the sense to flock to other groups then.

To laypeople, a lawyer is still considered prestigious. Although insiders will know it is no longer as high-paying as it was.

If they were to choose between a lawyer earning 6k/mth or a hawker earning 10k/mth, women will still pick the lawyer, because the lawyer's status is a better trophy than a hawker's status. After all, women love to compare here and there on social media and in real life

Schooling days are times when boys and girls alike are at their most innocent (although it is debatable nowadays). There won't be any gold-digging in school, but university is a different game when the girls mature into women, and finances play an important role.

lmao are you a boomer? university IS school, and even in JCs and secondary schools it's very common to date. and that was back in my time, i already grad from uni.

what makes you think singaporean students don't think about money in JC, when people are all rushing to apply to Oxbridge/Ivy League schools, all of which cost hefty sums?

such a naive view of life

why are you so obsessed with painting a picture of women as either 'innocent' or 'gold digging vicious players' (i.e. Madonna whore dichotomy)? my guess is someone you fancied started dating a better man and now you're salty so you go around trying to put down all women.

honestly, this is childish talk. it's a salary forum to talk about the legal industry. if you want to gossip about the perceived behaviour of women, there are lots of places where you can do that
