Honestly, I would say it is unlikely to have an impact on your career. I became UK qualified prior to moving to the offshore (I started at big 4, spent some time in a finance role before moving to my current position) but it was not a focal point of my CV during the interview process. And where I started as well as where I did my degree means that I am the SG law side of the firm, and am rarely put on UK law related matters.

That being said, if I had the inclination to move out of SG entirely i.e. move to London to practice, then this qualification would undoubtedly be not only useful but mandatory. Long story short, for SG lawyers who want to stay in SG, it is unlikely to help.
