Umm there are many other firms in between the big 4 and those 2.

Anyway it's pointless to compare firm rankings by headcount...unless you're a noob student.

All practicing lawyers know what matters is whether the practice area you're going into is recognised as top ranked amongst other firms in that practice area. for reference, go look at legal directories or Legal 500 rankings.

Otherwise, yall are just behaving like noob students.

Doesn’t sound right. Should be $14k base, unless things have changed since 2018.

Lockstep increase of $2k per month, after every English fiscal year (end April). Drops a little to $1,750 as you get more senior (Associate 6 and beyond).

I would think rather meagre. Anyone can help to verify?

SG NQs at B&M start at SGD7.5k.

Just to ensure a fair picture is being painted above - The salaries above for Magic Circle NQs applies for English Qualified NQs. That is the equivalent of a year 3 SG associate.
