Just don't get why so I see so many people worrying on a micro-level about hiring and firing in the same few Singapore firms, but not even considering casting their net a little wider.
That's because law graduates are by and large cut from the same cloth and think the same way. By-the-book, good at exams but not very bold, creative or imaginative. And always treading the same tried and tested path.

The local law students all mostly come from RI or HC. That's as cookie-cutter as you can get.

Those not smart enough to get into local law, usually from lower ranked JCs, but can pay their way overseas, aren't bright or hardworking enough to cut it.

The true visionaries, dreamers and mavericks have long cut their losses and run after graduating law school, or getting called or at most spending 1-2 years as a junior associate. Tan Min Liang is a prime example.
