Ouch at 6.2k... where did you join from though?

Hard to imagine an MNC spending more on lawyers than real UK/ US outfits?

Local. Not big 4.

You'd be surprised at what they'd pay for the right skills. They needed chinese/english fluency (not the ACS kind of chinese) and were willing to pay. I had the qualifications and experience to back up my application. Also lucky that the guy they hired before me was **** (not locally trained) and pissed off a lot of people.

Any assocs feel super demoralised by the way their practice is run? Like you literally just do everything and partner kiao kar and collect money only. Totally no supervision at all.

Go out and start your own business if that is how you feel. There is precedence of 3 pqes doing so.

Otherwise negotiate for a cut of your files.

If not, find another firm.

Hi, I agree with the post below that salary was not my main motivation for my recent career move. However, I did try to manage expectations with prospective employers and let them know that I would prefer not to take a paycut.

To answer your query - I was getting 2/3 PQE big firm pay and drawing the same amount now. I would consider myself lucky especially in the current job market.

Aiya say also you all won't know, by this place standards is basically a Chinatown firm.

Thanks for advice. Legal practice is seriously damn isolating. Being treated like a sims character just makes it worse.
