Should I focus on a liti TC instead (I've done moots and all)? I doubt it'll be ideal to do Liti and then transit to corp practice - after all the type of work and skills needed are quite different and I'd need to learn all over again.

Or should I just keep applying for corp, seeing as markets and business confidence may recover later this year?

Appreciate any insights from corp - thanks!
Yes. Secure liti first. 2.2 from NUS is quite tough, 2.1 usually can in normal market conditions.. I wouldn't advise that you bet on market recovery as we are quite dependent on the global outlook. It will steadily decline until a vaccine is found, regardless of whether we get local infection rate to 0 in SG.

If you can jump to liti, do liti. There is the prospect that you can ask to be retained in corp. By the time you finish part B, you may not get the TC you want
