You’ll find almost all of them came from NUS. This is a function of the MCs growing their workforce by poaching Big 4 associates, who tend to be local grads, and MC associates being poached by white shoes.

The UK grads in MCs tend to be white imports from the UK, who’ve decided to try experience life in the Far East, and spend their weekends travelling and exploring exotic Asia.
