Part B fail = reflect on yourself and consider whether law is your calling.

There is no exam out there in the world that is "too difficult". There is only candidates who are not well prepared or properly equipped. That is on how much effort they put into their studies.

I sat the Part A exam in October recently as a new taker.

About 2/3 of the candidates were re-takers who failed one or more modules in the earlier April exams.

Would anyone be able to shed light on how much would an of counsel at a firm the scale of nine yards be getting? Thanks.

Anyone know the pay and trainee retention rate at Harry Elias? What are they known for? How is the firm since the Harry E passed? Thanks

How to compare?? Just comparing the lowest level of trainee lawyers, most sg firms already paying much much lower and don't even have medical leave benefits. Lowest level also stingy to pay the bare minimum. Don't make me laugh you are hoping that other levels you want to be comparable with uk and us top firms

These are the top 30+ in London. Any firms on this list that have SG offices which are paying NQs at the same scale as for London? (I'm aware not all firms stated here have SG offices).

Yes. The US/MC firms on that list pay the same scale in Sg. But other than CC obviously not if its a JLV/FLA. Eg K&L Gates pays NQs 110k in London but Straits Law doesn't even come close
