Lawyer Salary

Can share more? Is it the fintech focused lawyer that left? What do the rest of the corp partners do, and more importantly what kind of deals to they do/clients do they have? Vanilla corp or specialised?

If you ask me ten years ago if I could see Singapore in such a sad state, I would have laughed in your face. Or do we just pop a xanax and see everything through rose-tinted glasses as we were taught in schools to do?

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about this, so keep calm and carry on.

Golden handcuffs: dealmaking lawyers weigh up their own Faustian bargains

Anyone else feel emo reading this kind of articles? FT, Bloomberg, legal cheek and all that have recently been writing incessantly about mad salary wars for US and UK law firms, and it's like this whole thing is just passing us by in Singapore.

Like bro, even if I wanted to sell my soul for money, the only Faustian bargain to be struck in Singapore is selling your soul for 2am days, 6 days a week for S$5.5k per mobth at a big4 . Lmao

Working in a local law firm is really a scam job
