last year they took 7, offered only 2 for TC (and all UK students)

Is it good to go into restructuring work? Seems like many interesting judgements have been released recently and recession proof.

what are the stereotypes/personality/vibes of SG firms? always interesting to hear such comments instead of general descriptions applicable everywhere

what does average grades in law school say about you

Does big 4 retain everyone? So long as you perform reasonably satisfactory?

Or will some trainees be asked to leave / not get retained?

I mean, everyone in local Sch is 85/90 at least and for the nus folks, most are second upper right?

So alls well

yes, it's local studies so generally they would be amenable to granting a deferment but YMMV depending on your unit and superiors. That said Part B is quite chill in terms of scheduling so don't worry to much as long as it doesn't conflict with the actual exams

Taking Part B this year, how hectic will the schedule be? Do I need to grind for 6 months or is it something I can slowly pace while relaxing?

Part B exams
 

Hi, can any 2023 Part B examination taker post their detailed exam schedule for the Dec 2023 exams?

doesn't matter, new syllabus for you guys anyway. GL HF

Can work part time while studying for part b or is it suicide

NRF NQ now £120k for London. Will this also be the case for SG office?

Apparently they're saying there's a potential 40% bonus, so potential £168k.

It will be near impossible to hit the billables required for this.

anyone know what are the exit opportunities for lee&lee corporate?

and is the pay still $5.5k/5k? heard there was a protest and NQ increased to $6k

5k for NQL? In 2023? What an insult.

What's the b4 2022 called 2pqe pay now?

15k pre bonus

Ringgit? Fool giving stupid answers at 1.26am

I think this is inaccurate, I believe WongP is 7k for NQ, can anyone confirm?

2023 batch did new syllabus, just supposedly without the increased difficulty.

ppl like this fella is why the industry sucks. either you answer the question or you don't. if you cant be helpful, be quiet.

anw OP, exams ran from 5 to 14 Dec 2023. our batch did the "new syllabus without increased difficulty". we had 1 paper a day, so 8 papers in total. it was DRP1-DRP2-PCP1-PCP2-(weekend)-ETH-CCP1-CCP2-CLK. the paper took place from 1430h-1630h.

if u allocating 4-5m u can slowly pace while relaxing. if u only start 2m before it will be painful. it is not hard but there is a lot to do

Yes it was supposedly without the increased difficulty - but you must admit at least, that it was no walk in the park

ya way too much code-switching between subjects. all a bit haphazard really

Why would you plan to exit from nirvana

Hope we all do well for civ pro and ethics!

Do local big 4 take back their assocs / partners after they leave and want to return?

Ie, after joining another big 4 or an intl firm - and they miss the firm they were pupils/trainees at, and want to come back?

Can their previous partner give the green light? Or is HR involved?

Wkw
 

Is WKW a good firm? Pay-wise, exit opp, prestige?

Can someone share the latest payscale for big4 from 1 to 3pqe pls? And how much is the pay bump to SA?

Lol as long as you were a normal assoc who didn't screw up (i.e. they trust your work) and you didn't leave because of personality clashes, then no issues.

Thanks for this. I was thinking of trying for an intl firm experience, but wasn’t sure whether to ask my big 4 firm for secondment or just quit and apply for an intl firm

6.5 or 6.8k can't rmb

pay matches b4 but not much prestige or reputation, partners act big

Pay is LOWER than B4 actually… very few exit opps if you look at linkedin… avoid

anyone heard from latham post-interview?
