This is correct. With frontload as it has always been.

I think the confusion concerns the frame of reference for the first full year salary. 7.5K to 7.8K is correct. But some people refer to it as NQ while others call it 1 PQE.

Technically NQ would be the 4 month "stub year" between Aug mass call and Dec. That's when junior assocs are paid 6.8K. Thereafter, their salary increases to 7.5K at the start of Jan.

So both are actually correct.

is University of London any good? saw quite a lot of solicitors in SG graduate from there but it does not seem to be approved anymore? how is it compared to the approved unis now?

can i ask

the front load component, does your employer pay CPF (Employer’s portion) for that?

Yes. The CPF paid on it is counted towards the additional wage ceiling and not the base. So in a month you can get CPF above the $6k cap

It’s very different now considering that the training contract is now one year.

Indeed, many people are very curious about how the payscales will change if mass calls will now be in January.

Assistant professor in Singapore is an entry level position (equivalent to lecturer in traditional British universities). These are not tenured position.

This guy seems to be the only one who knows what he is talking about when talking about progression in academia LOL.

Also, an LLM or higher degree is also a requirement for advancement (unless you are a long-time practitioner).

How do you guys deal with bullying in workplace?

Also depends on how much you ankat the balls of your senior professors.

Probably the biggest factor.
