International sides of some JLVs/FLAs pay close to the UK scale and have 1500-1800 billable hour requirements. You won't be getting Cravath or MC rates but it's definitely more than B4. But of course you need to get hired on the international side, which is the tricky bit

What does it mean to "get hired on the international side", I see laterals to Baker for example parking there licence at Wong&Leow and not the JLV, or saying that they have joined Kennedys but licence parked with Legal solutions. To work in the JLV one needs to register if im not wrong, does it mean they are not on the international side?

Some JLVs/FLAs act as one firm, such as Baker or CC. Everyone gets the same pay.

Others are effectively two firms that operate independently - in that case, you will need to be hired by the appropriate side. E.g. Kennedys and Legal Solutions LLC.

Lol this is a no brainer, take the silver circle TC. Earning potential is much higher. Plus far easier to lateral from SC than from B4.

Is this Ashurst? The other SC firm which hires trainees in Sg is HSF, which only offers E&W qualification. Unless it's Simmons which is not SC.

How will alternate E and W TCs frm reed smith, simmons, NRF fare in comparison to a A and G M and A TC?

Does Reed Smith (not resource law) offer TCs nowadays?

Is it true that some people bring their sleeping bags to bill more hours?
