baker's current NQ pay is 8K, friends who signed their 2023 TCs earlier this month confirmed that with HR

but mixed reactions, might add up to a pay cut for the first 2 years after graduation:

current structure: $12K in TC pay (6 months x $2K) + 90K for NQ (12 months x $7.5K) + $51K for half of 1PQE (6 months x $8.5K) = $153K

post-2023 structure: $24K in TC pay (12 months x $2K) + 96K for NQ (12 months x $8K) = $120K

wow so despite the increased training period to a year firms won't be raising the TC allowance even slightly?

looks like baker increased pay just a little early, i wonder if any adjustments will be made following the increases

Do you all feel bad knowing that the earliest you can have kids would be 35 provided you find someone now and date 5-8 years which is the average time people date before marrying?

How the fk is 5-8 years the norm LMAO I guess maybe if u BTO but hello if you're a lawyer and still need to BTO u might as well have done accountancy

Most people date for 5-8 years before marrying. How sure can you be of the partner if you date less than 5 years such that you won’t end up divorcing?

It’s not about BTO. And besides HDB in good location like pinnacle at duxton alr how much? $1M?
