If you are concerned about your employability after graduation, presently the most marketable degrees outside medicine and dentistry are those from computing faculty. On brand recognition, no such issue locally. On the second point it's self-explanatory and you are intelligent enough to figure out yourself. In deciding which courses to undertake, interest and ability to excel are the most important parameters, however, one must also consider other practical aspects and be prepared to consider other suitable courses which offer good prospect and if you also don't mind undertaking. |

So its true there's a slight overall drop in starting salary compared to pre-GFC, but once you rise up in a few years it won't really matter. What's happening is there's a gulf between junior salaries & senior salaries. You should be more concerned about the advent of AI, software and automation reducing the need for many junior lawyers in the first place to sift through data or generate documents. Its already happening in many industries so law will definitely be no exception. |
What is the rate of law grads who drop out of law right after getting a LLb and did my go to do bar course because
couldn't get a TC ? |
Please tell me that this is not true that now law firms are not paying for training contracts: ://.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/more-local-law-firms-willing-to-take-in-trainees-but-without-pay
Is the situation until so bad? It is so unheard of in other discipline to work for free. I wonder why I am doing law now. What other career options do I have? - |

Was offered a position as associate but chose not to stay. Now working as in house counsel, pay wise comparable to first year associates in the range of 4000. So it is not too bad. You can choose to go in house, but unlikely anyone would hire due to inexperience. I would suggest you bite the bullet and do the training with or without pay. Btw I graduated from Australia University and no honours, im in top 30% though. Cheers |

May I ask how did you get in-house position without experience ? |

Not trying to show off or anything, probably salary wise my peers who decide to stay on in the legal industry would see a dramatic increase in their salary while my salary will probably be stagnant in the range of 4k for at least 3 years. |
from my limited experience seems like most employers prefer NUS over SMU.

NUS v SMU Law grads
From my experience too, employers preferred nus grads to smu grad s
maybe it's the way the students r trained i am an overseas grad but from what i could see from interactions smu grads no doubt could apply the law but are often lack depth in understanding the fundamental philsosophy within each branch of law. say contract law - giving effect to parties intention. in novel situations which require an exercise of innovation and creativity to craft arguments nus grads who are trained much more vigor ways will be able to shine also i see nus grads can relate a topic across various branches of law and not just applying law to facts |
