Lawyer Salary

What's work/life balance and salary at Min law like?

Getting kinda sick of my big 4 life. I don't mind a paycut if i get some sanity and some semblance of my weekends back.

Junior assoc here from a small mid sized. Thinking of applying out and moving firm from Jan onward. Would applying in Sept be too early. Not expecting any bonus this year. Didn’t have any also.

What about application to firms like SLB, DRD? Anyone has thoughts about WP Corp or Eng&Co’s Corp team?

Omg I’m in the exact same situation. Junior assoc in a small firm corp dept, no other assocs, no support staff, no trainees. I was hesitant to leave at first but it’s not an associate’s job to worry about staffing problems.

Just start applying now. It’ll take longer than you think to get a decent position, especially with mediocre results and coming from an unknown firm. Took me about 2.5 months to find a place I liked, now serving my one month’s notice.

Appreciate for the people who are serious about discussions toj ust direct your queries to the tele chat from now on! Too many trolls here and we will have better discussions with controlled anonymity Thanks so much!

Why not go NUS and apply for Sheridan fellowship?
Hours better than big four and you need minimum 2:1
As prestigious as your big 4 gig too.

Guess you're a recent trainee paid janitor rates. My delivery driver gets paid more than you. Renting is a good option.
