What to do leh? When your clients are mom and pop run companies who haggle over every bill, you are never gonna be able to win the foreign firms. Singapore’s corporate landscape is simply not robust enough for local firms to earn the kind of top dollar that CC earns. Just look at our exchange - most of them are family run towkay shops.

This is pretty obvious.
That’s why top law grads go to magic circle or the white shoes coz they know the very concept that you earn more and save, you essentially cut short the no of years you need to work. Possible to retire at 40. As compared to 65 if you’re in a small firm.

All the reviews can be summed up as "go to an international firm instead"

Yeah but if you start out in a small firm due to 2:1 and lower, it’s difficult to scale up.
You can scale up to big four (by exp), but always a long shot from the magic circle or white shoes.
Increasingly white shoes want pedigree. And pedigree can only be sought from Oxbridge or the top 5% from NUS.

Does anyone know what the salary and progression is like in the legal service? As a scholar vs non-scholar?
