Salary and progression
Hi guys,
Does anyone know how much firms like Straits Law and KhattarWong currently pay their NQs and what's the increment like? Much appreciated

What about employee benefits? What do the firms offer? Are there any firms among the big 4 which pays for mobile phones etc?

Further, they have you travelling virtually all the time which might sound appealing at the start, but it's extremely tiring and also takes you away from your family. All things to consider for everyone here. By all means excel, but please choose carefully!

Not really accurate. True that you'll never make partner in intl firm but same goes for local Big 4 these days. At most they'll tease you with salaried partnership but you're pretty much locked out of equity unless you are somebody's somebody. A&G even makes 6PQE "Counsel" now, whatever that means.
Hours can often be better at intl firms but this really varies between firms and teams. Either way the pay bump is very significant.

Depends on the practice. RT CMMA team is quite attractive to lateral recruiters even though these practices are band 2.
