Never heard it put like that before, but makes sense. Don't know why people here wonder why they can't draw 5.5k NQ starting pay AND also work 9-6 Mon-Fri only. You start your own firm next time (if you're not some humji 8 PQE senior assoc) and you do just that. Pls.

If you don't you better come back here and explain why you pay only 3k and still whatsapp on sunday and PHs. Idiots

Everywhere, don't bother asking.

This is the same as fishing for someone to sell out an employer

Your chances of retention automatically go up when you're hardworking and good at what you do.

Based on anecdotes from my friends, it seems retention for this year went like this:

(1) B4/Internationals relatively unchanged from previous years, but with some salary adjustments (allegedly temporarily).

(2) Small firms outside of fam/crim law basically 0% retention.

(3) Mid-sized really depends. Generally bad except for the boutiques, but it was a bloodbath at one notable boutique.

Thank you so much! So between a B4 and Baker, would B4 be safer? Because if I accept a Baker offer for the higher starting salary but don't get retained then f**k me right HAHA

From a retention perspective, no difference. You are likely to be retained at either.

Is it just you? OR is it a team-wide/department wide scenario?
