I am comparing this with a management associate program in the banking industry if that paints a clearer picture. Thanks alot!
If you really like law, stick it out. The attrition is high and you will soon find it easy to lateral into the big firms at the mid level. You could also consider training in Hong Kong. They are very open to NUS graduates, although you would need to the one year PCLL course.
