Easy as hell to verify. I'll just ask around the B4 financing teams.

OP confirm is talking nonsense. Cravath pay for peanut-B4 assoc ? Good try. Everyone knows even if go from A&G /WP to Gibson/Latham, they put you on “SG scale” for a few years, or worse they start you as “staff attorney”. Just check the Gibson Dunn’s SG directory, you’ll see all the B4 assocs who recently joined are “staff attorney”.

On curious note though, anyone knows how much these “staff attorneys” earn?

Lol so triggered for what. You talk so much **** then don’t even know how much staff attorneys are paid. Epic fail.

Let people tell the stories they want la. Who cares if its false? There are opportunities to move to international firms in London - just let the story inspire those who want to try.

Agreed. Those who quote “opportunities in international firms in London”, ROFL . Means can’t get anything good in SG, must relocate out of our low-tax environment. I see the CVs of all those singaporeans who work in White Shoe firms in SG, all oxbridge FCH.

Bitter people fester and moan in anonymous forums because they get abused in their day jobs. Spare a thought and let them have their outlet.

I was the one who wrote the long post criticizing the 21k salary OP (I have also asked around and there was no such KCL FCH from a B4 financing team).

I didn't do it out of bitterness. I am a big fan of people openly sharing and helping each other with tips on how to survive and navigate shitty bosses and hiring and all that - this industry needs more transparency. And because of that, I detest when people come onto this forum and start (under the guise of anonymity) spewing ******** about fantastical salaries and job opportunities which just make people feel like they're doing worse than they should.

If I cant get that international firm job which pays triple my salary and I feel bad about it - that's my own problem to work on. But when the job itself is just made up, then the asshole who made it up is at fault. Junior associates need to know their value and they should want to work for better, but they should not be made to feel like they're under-performing because of a fictitiously skewed average.
