Hello seniors,

I have a few questions about joining the public service (i.e. AGC) immediately upon graduation and would be grateful for any advice.

1) How stifling is it, if it is in the first place, given that the entire place is replete with scholars?

2) Is work experience in public service of value in private practice - not only in respect of civil litigation, but also corporate work?

4) Is it easier to switch practice areas (e.g. litigation to corporate) in private practice, rather than to switch from government to private practice?

5) How is PQE counted for LSOs given that they are called only 2 years later?

6) Is it comparatively better to TC in a well-established mid-sized firm rather than the AGC, having regard to the possibility that one may not be retained (cf a 2-year contract)?

Thanks!
