Do the small/mid-size law firms featured in Legal500/IFLR1000/Chambers&Partners generally pay well, or does it differ? I am currently in a no name firm and want to change firms.

Any seniors can enlighten me on what junior associates do in B&F? Would really appreciate it!!

Dude unless you have a firm M&A offer somewhere else, take it.

There were some discussions on TC allowances which ranges from $300~$2000. Can you share the allowances offered in your TC? And is it big firms, mid sized or small firms?

My M&A TC is with a mid-sized firm, 1500. My B&F TC is with a big firm, 2000.

This is a no brainer. B&F is a good field to enter. And big firms open more doors. Happy to have a chat with you if you need. I've been doing B&F for 6 years. Started at a big firm and went international last year for a fat pay increase.

I totally agree. Go for the big firms if can. B&F is a very good field because we are a major financial centre. All the international firms set up shop here to do B&F work. While M&A is also a good field, but it is more niche and there are times when there are few deals. Besides your M&A TC is with a mid-sized firm, so you may not be involved in the biggest deals in the land or region. Go big firm B&F.

MFA does take alot of nus law students and alot of them have been doing internships with MFA although it is still difficult to get inside and it is hard to return to the legal industry if you do decide to go this route
