LMAO are you for real? There's nothing "in it" for small/boutique firms. People go there if they can't go to the big firm of their choice. That's like asking why people prefer to work in Bharat Bank as opposed to Barclays or Deutsche Bank.

I suppose piss poor pay may be ameliorated by better hours and better "mentorship" if the stars align, but wouldn't count on it. small firm associates are just as likely to be overworked and exploited by toxic bosses lol

To solve the problem of overseas and local grads,
It’s actually quite easy.

Make it much longer for an overseas graduate to qualify. Instead of 2 years currently for a UK grad, make it 3 years.

Pray tell what’s the logic behind this? You need extra years head start so they can’t compete with your for jobs?

Would just like to say that mid-level (2-5 PQE) transactional lawyers in London and the USA (NYC and Chicago in particular) are in very hot demand, and the usual supply of Aussie laterals cannot happen for obvious reasons.

My firm's M&A team is almost totally depleted (pandemic burnout) and they're desperately trying to lateral. Same for the competition team, funds team, etc.

If anyone is jaded in Singapore and would like a pay bump, I'd advise them to reach out to a recruiter in those countries and look at moving!

I don’t know what’s the point of applying through recruiters when you can do it yourself on LinkedIn

The jobs there get updated almost instantaneously.

Shut up recruiter. Go back to your 3 hour boozy lunches and 4 hour "work" days on Friday and LinkedIn whoring. The rest of us have real work to do.
