You must be from a lousy uni. You mean there is nothing I between taking ferry and taking business class on a plane?

I suggest you take the 3k course, which is aimed at assocs like you.

ridiculously curious about this alleged chambers drama

What do you know about the alleged drama first?

Charles Yeo is posting alot about it. Dont know how true or false

Does it matter if someone is named in them?

Is a mid sized local firm or small sized FLA better?

What drama

something about a secret bed chamber..

I don’t see anything yet leh

i wonder how much truth there is in all his posts.

These scandals are never easy for the victims, including the innocent child. Let’s not fan the flames.

Lousy Uni > lousy brain

Why Plural? Got more than 1 victim?

Bruh. You forgot about the kids ah. Children are always the victims in every such breakdown.

(Speaking generally of course. Dunno how true this alleged scandal is. CY not reliable one )

In any case, congrats to all the newly promoted R&T partners!

CY is charles yeo or chong yong?

can see the husband's ig - primary source.

Very naughty DPPs.

Hi all I’m going into 1PQE this year with about 5 months of experience, looking to jump because of pay.

Is 5 months alright or should I wait until I get a year, I.e will hiring firms look badly at the short stay I had with my current firm?

Which ones?

You should stay if it will mean that you will have more exposure, or if it will improve your skillset. Staying just to clock PQE is a literal waste of time - the added PQE will be meaningless.

If there is a good reason to leave, just leave.

Back to the topic of legal recruiters,quite clear for all to see that the boss at aslan is a huge self-absorbed prima donna. Whole day only interested in posting bs LinkedIn posts macham influencer pui. Then make simi sai podcast, like that how to focus on the work. Place your career in their hands at your own risk.

Where? 10char

Charges framed by charlie against the naughty DPPs!

interesting comments but who hurt u bro

must be another jelly recruiter slinging mud. u know how their industry thrives on gossip n frivolous non substantive 'work' since they're more or less doing 'sales'

Deferred start period
 

Hi learned friends. 2 going 3 PQE assoc here in a mid sized firm at the smaller end.

I’m looking to move once I complete the year with my existing firm. Been severely underpaid and i dread going to work daily. Feel like I’ve not got much in me left here.

My notice is 2 months, however I plan to take a long holiday upon serving notice and a break. I intend to not stay beyond June with current firm.

If I were to try and start work elsewhere in late July-early August, would it be too early to start applying now? Would it compromise my application if I ask for later start date?

Particularly Big 4s, SLB DRD WKW MLS, FLAs when should I start looking to apply?
How is Bird and Bird?

Just start applying now. You never know if the same opportunity will be open later on. You should be honest with the interviewer in relation to your plans, so that they can plan - this shouldn't compromise your application, assuming that the firm / interviewer are reasonable.

any thoughts on PMMP?

will it be an interesting CNY for some of our learned friends given recent exposés?

How to jump tc? no positions are advertised

how many months bonus does a Big4 assoc earn yearly? Is everything frontloaded already?

Based on Cheng He Ti Tong’s updates, look like this drama is over?

Was it ever a drama to begin with? Such behaviour is par for the course in the legal industry.

Our dear equity partners / those in the topmost of our profession of numerous firms at numerous points in time, are the most prolific negative role models for this kind of behaviour lol. We, the younger generation, are simply emulating the moral centres of our learned predecessors.

So nice to revisit the first post in this increasingly complex thread. Times were pure then.

Looks like the drama is expanding to more people?

Applying to B4s/In House
 

2 going 3 PQE here. I intend to leave my firm once I complete the year. Im underpaid and no longer see a future. I’ve jumped a few times. Currently have spent 8-9 months at where I am.

1. Should I start applying now to the in house/govt/bigger firms/international practices. I intend to go for a holiday once I throw letter and leave, before resuming work again.

2. Would I jeopardize my application by putting a late start date? Something like June-July. That’s when I intend to start once coming back from holidays.

If I qualified in Aug’21, am I currently 1 or 2 pqe in terms of salary for B4?

starting pay of big local firms, mid sized local firms, and FLA now?

You start at NQ from Aug 2021 - December 2021.

You then become 1PQE in Jan 2022, and 2PQE in Jan 2023.
