Not sure, but did you get a TC offer from them? Because HR said they usually don't take in trainees unless the partner specifically wants you - the assoc I spoke to joined after doing TC elsewhere

My significant other.

Im a male so whats ur problem?

trainee -> associate - > senior associate -> junior partner -> partner -> retire

wow did u just assume ur own gender

So what if i did? Please be diverse and inclusive.

why can't a male suck a partner's dick? talk about being diverse and inclusive

People in this forum are so so so damn bitter haha. Dude man, go work on yourself to get the job you want instead of spreading hate here or trashing overseas grads for taking jobs

Can't agree more. Loads of students fear the so-called "blacklist" and "inner-circle" between HRs of the various law firms but I really doubt it works that way. As someone who signed with a different firm after verbally "accepting" (but not signing) an offer at a Big 4, the key is just to make sure that you are confident in your reasons why you want to move. At the end of the day, a firm isn't going to sweat losing a prospective trainee given that the market is saturated with them. Just don't be a dick about it and brag about moving to a bigger firm or one that pays more.

I eventually moved overseas after my 6 months at the firm and the partners were incredibly understanding and kind about it, offering me advice and encouragement that the move would be beneficial + a good opportunity and asking that we stay connected etc. It is just about handling the situation properly.

Are u a lawyer. I am accusing another of being non diverse because i was prevented from assuming my own gender. My response was not in relation to sucking dick.

Cos they from kcl, cant get tc or cant get retained or asked to leave or cant make partner so therefore bitter.

Recruiters
 

Which recruiting firm n recruiters are good / bad? Pls share

Heard mixed reviews on them.

Pure search? Ansa? Jlegal? Which ones good bad

Heard they come on this forum n pretend to be lawyer or student n grind their axes here

I can see the business need for them to stir the wok

You need make good egg fried rice

Strange went quiet maybe OP is right the forum is infested w recruiterd

What are the top international firms in SG? For job not for TC

King n spalding. In 2 yrs u earn at least 15k

Im a recruiter btw and yes we pound the forums. Its like cambridge analytica or influencers. Law firms beware who u cross

A 2pqe who joins Links SG can get 16 to 17k....

Thanks recruiter

US firms. Can get 20+k as an NQ

Thanks recruiter

I know it is a bad time to quit a job but I think it has reached a point where I need to walk out of the place that is making me unhappy. I know that myself and many of my colleagues are all replaceable since there are plenty of bright eyed graduates looking to replace us.

I want to ask how difficult it is to start out your own law firm and how long do you have to wait to get 15k a month. I am definitely going to have a huge pay cut plus I do not think I can bring over clients since most of my clients are currently big corporations.

Terrible recruiters
 

On the topic of bad recruiters, please avoid the following

Dhvani Doshi from Hays (I called inquiring about a role, she told me she would call me back in 10 minutes..... it's been 3 weeks surprise surprise)

Paulin Tan from ANSA (kept telling me there was a role that I could be a candidate for and never got back to me)

Agreed about Dhvani Doshi from Hays - Rude, entitled and impatient. Randomly calls you up for roles then never updates you and ghosts entirely. RUDE.

Emily Tan from Formative Search - This woman will literally harass you lmao. If you turn down a role, she will keep asking you WHY WHY WHY and ask if you can intro any friends who might be interested. Sometimes she even pretends as if she had mandate from the firm/company to act and search for a candidate. Anyhow max.

Sophie de Blauwe from Taylor Root - Will chat you up and get you hyped for a role, then ghost you. I heard her strategy is she lines up several candidates and sends the weaker ones in first to suss out the interviewers/what kind of questions would they ask/etc to prep her stronger ones later.

Melvin Ling from Hudson - I only learnt about this guy because he randomly cold called me on my office phone without even reaching out to me on LinkedIn first. Spoke to him for 5 mins and felt damn tired, clearly doesn't even know what he's doing or what the legal industry is about.

Awaiz Iqbal from Interlink Recruitment - OMG AVOID THIS GUY. Just like Emily, he anyhow pretend he has mandates and will randomly splice together random partner profiles to cobble up a JD for you. He once asked my friend whether she was interested in a role with XYZ department in my firm, which didn't even exist so I asked to see the JD - lo and behold, he just anyhow threw a few partners (from entirely different depts) and claimed they were hiring for that specific dept lol.

Lucy Kennerley from Leap29 - She will be very nice to you if she needs your profile/cv but when you try to ask her about roles she's posted, she'll be damn cold to you and say they not hiring for your profile lol.

Eng Chang from Space Exec - Talk a lot but clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, has a throw **** until it sticks method i.e. he will spam you with roles or talk you up about them when you're clearly unsuitable.

Heard similar ****. Pretend to be eager beaver only.
