Getting really sick of practice and thinking of LLMs for a career break.
Would an LLM/BCL from Cambridge/Oxford boost prospects? How about doing an LLM in top civil law school or in the US?
What about New York Bar over masters?

Ignore the idiots above - "delisted" is a term that only has meaning in the context of SG bar applications. It means nothing outside of that. A FCH from a "delisted" school means just as much to the admissions department of Oxford or Columbia than a FCH from
NUS or
SMU.
From a career standpoint, a BCL or LLM is meaningless outside of litigation, which you may be, but the more important consideration is that you have already started your career and you are at a crucial stage where you should focus on padding up your CV. If you hit the 3 or 4 year mark and all you have are small to mid size firms on your CV, you are nearing a dead end.
A poster above mentioned that B4 teams are bleeding people, this is very true. Go ahead and apply. I am confident you will get in if you have a FCH as you say.
