female corporate lawyer (with a real estate slant), 29 years old. about S$7k per month, not including bonus.
my bosses are decent and my hours are 9am to about 8pm everyday (sometimes earlier, sometimes later). i work weekends at times. many of my friends have quit. the stress is incredible. if you want to be moderately well-off, lawyering should be able to provide for that. but if you want to be very rich, you should consider something else (e.g. investment banking, your own business, etc). |
In House Lawyer
mid 40s, in-house lawyer - $450,000 per year. Bonus > $100K. I know of friends who have moved in-house too. Two around my salary range...

3rd yearer here: 7K per month + 29k annual bonus = 113k Thinking of doing a switch next year to either (i) an offshore firm (better pay, brand name on resume); or (ii) in-house (better hours). |

I heard about a guy with a US law degree doing corporate law for a foreign firm here getting about 15k his first year. Apparently his hours are quite good too and he goes home at 6-7 most days.
Does anyone know if this is just an anomaly? Either in terms of pay or hours? |
