Of the salary war that is ongoing in the UK legal industry, what’s noteworthy to me is not the headlining big number salary; but the fact that firms are in fact competing for young associates, unlike in Singapore. The industry is so protected/entrenched in its ways, even a bump of 1-200 is a “competitive” salary advantage. And lawyers with more PQEs under their belt in the UK, are faced with a new phenomena where their NQs are taking home the same scale as them, perhaps even more. Not saying SG shld expect a 150k SGD NQ starting, but a measly 500 bump should not be celebrated as though kingdom had come. You can see your own billables yourself. What amount of revenue are you generating per month? |

Broad strokes wise, the SA at an int firm will be doing the same as a JP in local firm. You might be able to run smaller files by yourself, and will be expected to do business development (i.e. trying to get clients). I am not sure of this for b4, but I have heard that you start actively trying to build rep and get clients at JP level, meaning you get promoted then start BD. For SA in int firms, you don't really get promoted until you already have BD skills LOL. |

Unregistered | Congratulations! You can try applying, but maybe proceed carefully (assume you won’t be applying to same practice area as current TC firm) to minimize risk of firms talking about you to each other! (Just in case you wanna change firm a few years down the road!) | |

FCH - reapply TC? Hi, in need of some advice here. I unexpectedly got a FCH but I have already accepted a TC with a B4 (but not the dept I am interested in, because at that time I did not have stellar grades). Will it be advisable to apply to other firms to jump TCs ? |

Unregistered | I'd also like to know the perks and drawbacks of being a 6-7pqe assoc/SA at an int'l firm vs an junior partner/assoc director at a local firm. | |
