Hahahaha don’t be salty because you suck so bad compared to them.

NRF - S$8/9K
Hogan Lovells, Jones Day - S$12/13K
Links, A&O, CC - S$14K
W&C, S&S - S$17K
Gunderson, Milbank, Gibson Dunn, MoFo, Sidley - S$23K

Please feel free to weigh in/correct any inaccuracies.

Jones Day lower than MC? Doesn’t look right but I guess you’d never know given the blackbox.

Finally some good salary discussions! Lets keep this up and ignore all the trolls.

Anw serious question and probably a niche one: would you guys recommend joining a "Christian" law firm? Those practising litigation would probably know which ones I'm talking about. Small-medium size outfits generally doing liti crim or community-type law where the majority of lawyers are Christians. Any negative experiences, esp. if you're not really actively religious?

Fervent Chambers would be the firm for you. We pray before all our meals and thank God for all the complex high quantum cases that he has bestowed upon us.
