Most JD for top tier schools will at least try to work in US for a couple of years before they return/transfer to china as the third year associate. (global pay put them at 200K+ USD). Most of the job openings are in HK, however there is growth in associates number in mainland after several years of decline. I am not sure how lucky you have to be. but most people need a good degree from a prestige school to even be considered (not necessary the law degree) After being here for 6 months, I am totally lost on how much "China associates" get paid as well. I know it is around 70-80K USD for good big law. But other people are saying either this number is too high or too low. I am not in China right now. it is hard for me to say. |
