tbh if your grades like **** you also cannot expect too much

Was this necessary?

May I know how many years does it take for associate to become senior associate and senior associate to become partner in small, medium and big respectively?

Hey just a quick question guys. If I am a associate for several years in a firm (not yet promoted to senior associate) , do you think I should apply for a Senior associate position in another firm?

What is the income disparity between a community lawyer and corporate lawyer? I want to do community law but I want to pay my bills haiz. Such is life's dilemma

Now that we can go back to work after months of wfm, is the workload piling or basically shake leg at work?

How many years have you been there? Generally, you're not going to get a promotion by moving unless you're ridiculously good and have an established reputation. Given that you're a JA, that seems unlikely. Best to check with your current bosses as to what the plan is for you.

Thanks for the advice. Guess I just have to do that

I work for a small firm. Partner promised profit sharing and followed through.
I now profit share, and go home on the dot most days.
There are some good small firms out there - i think sometimes it really just depends on your luck.

Try anyway. What's there to lose?
