50-60 is normal for the most part in my experience. Assuming you bill 40-45 a week that seems reasonable.

Hey All, what’s your personal experience with work life balance (WLB) in Singapore? I’ve heard varying views on this so would be good to hear from people on e.g. Big/small tech/consulting etc. companies and how they differ in terms of working hours and WLB. 😊

I see people who are doing 1st round technical asking, What is your current, expected CTC, offer. This question was not asked before 2 years in first level. Why should the tecnical person ask it!!! Some people might compare with their salary and reject the candidate even he is good in tech stack..

Gave first round technical round with a company today and it didn't go well. When asked about CTC, I said current is 24, have offer for 33 and I am expecting 40. Good day to shocked Interviewer🤣

So. I’ll just come out and share that I was an average law student. However, I was involved in a prestigious clinic supervised by a big law managing partner so I ended up following him to his firm. Think bottom 25% student who got lucky! This partner has been a fantastic boss and mentor! I am a mid level now. Last week we settled a big case against a V25 firm. We won! When all was said and done I emailed the head partner on that matter to compliment him and smooth out things.

Getting really frustrated with my job. Im by far the busiest associate my year level, and there are 2 people in my group who literally have no work at all. I feel like I keep missing targets and the partners are disappointed in me, but it’s hard to motivate when I see others not doing anything. I know I should be grateful bc the partners think I’m better than the others (and job security) but I can’t seem to convince myself to care.

I just lateraled as a first year associate in a specialized finance practice with one main partner and a handful of mid levels. The practice group is actively hiring laterals. But as the only junior associate so far, I don’t have very many people to ask for help, and I have a lot of questions about how to do my work, whether it’s okay to respond to an email in a certain way, etc. The partner is disorganized and requires a lot of follow up before he reviews or answers me. How do I manage this?
