Laughing at a bunch of non-first-class people arguing about how easy/difficult it is to get first class.

Here's the article on Straits' Times.
://.straitstimes.com/business/entry-level-lawyers-earning-slightly-less-amid-glut-morgan-mckinley Entry-level lawyers earning slightly less amid glut: Morgan McKinley Some legal firms in Singapore have lowered their entry-level salaries amid a glut of younger lawyers and a gloomier business environment, recruitment firm Morgan McKinley has found. Last year, entry-level lawyers working at any of the "Big Four" - Drew & Napier, Allen & Gledhill, Wong Partnership and Rajah & Tann - drew a basic salary of $5,500 to $6,000 a month. The same lawyers could have earned $6,000 a month or more in 2014, said Morgan McKinley. Entry-level lawyers at medium- sized firms earned a basic salary of $4,000 to $5,000 a month last year, down from a range of $4,500 to $5,500 in 2014. Nevertheless, some international law firms will still pay a basic salary of $7,000 for entry-level lawyers, to attract the best talent, said Ms Allcard, who was speaking on the release of her firm's annual salary survey yesterday. |

The focus shouldn't be so much on first class or not and whether it is easier or harder to get a first overseas.
What the local law unis should work towards is to become like a Harvard or Oxbridge. In Harvard and Oxbridge, it doesn't matter if you're a first class or a 2:2. Once u tell people you're from Harvard or Oxbridge, it's enough. Why? Bcos the people they nurture, the reputation, the thinking pedagogy and the alumni support is world famous. Being overly concious about grades is something that this generation has been nurtured to think. As someone who has studied in Harvard & Oxbridge, I can say that the teaching emphasis in these countries is different especially the exposure. |

Dn know why people are so butt-hurt abt the fact that it is harder on average to get a first or 2.1 locally compared to the UK. we can argue abt practicality or street-smartness or industry know-how until the cows come home, but that's tangential. E.g. based on the stats above, if entry into both UCL and NUS require AAA/A and the former has 90% of students getting 2.1 and above and the latter only 55%, don't see how you can argue otherwise. |

What a loser. Are you sure you studied law? I just came into this thread and couldn't help myself when I saw a poser from some crap UK school trying to pontificate and coo. Yeah, it's you, stop trying to hide behind your **** grades and **** school.
I am not even a lawyer or a law wannabe. I am in M&A banking, and you losers just do our paperwork. I won't even be bothered to feed you my education details because it's obvious to everyone how stupid and uneducated you are. |
