Well said, and of course, thanks for putting this in context.
My intention was to advice the NUS grad who asked whether it made sense for him to do a LLM after grad from NUS. Clearly it depends where he/she was going to do it.
It’s a no brainer if it’s a LLM from Harv, Yale, Oxbridge.
Anything after that, you’ve to think hard weighing the cost and time as against PQE.
