I'm not sour. I had an excellent supervising solicitor (from NUS) who highlighted the differences between academic and practical competence. This idea didn't come from me.

Admittedly, I was once you until I entered practice 3 years ago.

Anyway, not here to change your mind or start a debate. By all means, hold on to your beliefs. It's what makes you as a person, isn't it.

I'm off dude (until this forum is actually constructive and/or useful).

why tf is my TC now 1 year!!!!!!!!??????

"Exclusive: Singapore firm slaps down lawyer for spilling on slashed bonus"

Singapore firms are reducing their lawyers' bonuses and salaries, and one firm has disciplined one of its own lawyers for revealing details of the cuts.

Sources report that three of the so-called 'big four' firms in the country, Allen & Gledhill, Drew & Napier, Rajah & Tann, and Wong Partnership, have cut bonuses and, in some cases, reduced salaries. The country's biggest firm by headcount, Rodyk & Davidson, confirmed to RollOnFriday that the low end of its bonus had been dropped. A spokeswoman blamed "the regional ecomonic slowdown", saying that the last two years had been "exceptionally strong".

However that went down badly with at least one Rodyk & Davidson lawyer, who sent a photo of the email informing staff of the cuts to his friends. An insider says that the firm has now "taken action" against him, although its spokeswoman declined to clarify what the action was, telling RollOnFriday. "we cannot comment publicly about our internal employee management process".

That email made the spokeswoman lose face. $ the last two years had been "exceptionally strong" $ narrative is fake news. Today's POFMA should do DRD in instead for misleading statements
,
Be careful,

are Sg lawyers not supposed to let others know ---->wat their pay and bonus is? ---->when pay and bonus has been cut?

That article was from 2015

how easy is it for sg qualified lawyers to find work overseas?

Fat hope. If you are born a sinkie you must have done some bad karma in your previous life, nothing you can change about it.

PAY SECRECY

Does your law firm force you to keep your pay secret?

In the West there's PAY SECRECY LAWS prohibiting companies from punishing workers who disclose their pay.

Obviously SG does not have this* D'Rodyk was able to punish lawyer.

But if pay have to be secret, why hiring companies and law firms still can ask for last drawn pay?
Say if I am fr DRD, if I give my new firm this info, will I be punished?
