This is akin to many other professions la, not only the legal industry. Do you see doctors 'made EP' in TTSH, NUH, SGH or even in private hosp? And even if there are, how many are there? They also slog like mad then set up their own clinics if they want

You want equity so much, go join FAANG lor. they give u stock option and you become 'EP'.

Great post - very good consideration of the costs and benefits for a young lawyer.

Our dear Law Soc president recently did an interview with Sumiko Tan, and apparently his view is that young lawyers are not concerned with money (????) and because they speak a different language than senior lawyers who received praise through their pay and bonuses (????). Absolutely tone deaf, and does not account for the stagnation of wages and how the average young software engineer is now way better paid than an average young lawyer. If he wants us to be able to handle the abuse and long hours, at least pay us better relative to other sectors.

The attrition concern also primarily comes from losing business to other jurisdictions, thus affecting the rice bowl of senior lawyers. I say to my fellow junior lawyers - hit them where it hurts and fly high and free, away from this conservative and abusive industry.

Guys, do u really think the law firm n partners will change their work schedule, workload, pay n culture for jr lawyers juz bcoz of the press on CNA and BT? They don't have to and they won't.

Yes, the fatcat King of Singapore will drive change in the legal industry. I wait with bated breath,

Will he drive change after his tenure ends as king?

Is he trump in disguise carrying a populist message?

most junior lawyers are too jaded to care. the ones who care, and who are continuing the discussion on linkedin, are the ones who are no longer in private practice and have fled inhouse.
