A patent agent trainee at a law firm would not be paid more than a law intern that's for sure. To hit 100k p.a again, it would probably take a good 3~5 years in the industry AND have sufficient work.

Sorry for the vagueness.
thanks! I have not logged in for a while... but I read your post which was posted in 2013. some good reference points and info could be drawn there. quite negative though... slightly disappointed. my friends will think i lost my mind if I decide to dump my relatively-mid-pay job and good prospect now to go from scratch again. haha...

I thought of patent agent was because I am qualified in the previous country I worked in. However qualification is not transferable to Singapore. Which means I need to start from scratch.

Now my only concern with starting over is salary - whether it could support my family spending.

With commission etc I'm able to draw up to 100k a year from my current job. I do not expect the some thing if I were to start over, plus I'm looking for a less traveling job.

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on how much a patent agent trainee is paid for? And how about qualified patent agent? Thanks in advance!
