If you don't receive a TC by one to two days, chances are you not getting it already unless alot of ppl reject them. I had friends who got an offer a few days to one week after, but those were very rare.

what do you mean when you say "usually they already know if they taking you"?
do you mean purely based on the application form, or interview performance, etc.?
because for ppl who didn't intern there, you don't submit your CV as part of your application, so it's strange to think that the interview is a mere formality

So I can assume it’s over and start looking for another firm if I don’t hear back within a week?

The firm is located near OUE.
Thanks!

Agree.
It's quite sad that this is the view that most law students and junior assocs hold. It will take a few years for them to gain some ... prespective ....
At the end of the day, they will either agree or disagree.
There will be enough people who agree and they will continue to perpetuate this unhealthy view of the profession... and we will be back at sqaure one.
It's difficult to fight against the tide of such indoctrination. It's much better to just do our own thing and wish our juniors well.

The average junior lawyer is probably smart and hardworking enough to do something non-law-related for better comp. Or get a job which pays around the same comp but for much better WLB. I'm not even exaggerating, quite a no. of my friends who quit law to do other non-law corporate stuff are leapfrogging past their non-lawyer peers. You'll be at least above average to a high performer in those settings. (At least at the junior levels. Above middle manager level, all bets are off.)
So either aim for Big 4 and internationals, or go in-house. If neither of these are attainable/appeal to you, please quit lawyering and do something else.
It's just not worth it to practice law in Singapore lower down the value chain of the industry. That's my advice to juniors going to get called this August.
