While other assocs who achieve much stellar grades in local universities end up grinding behind the scenes till dawn while getting zero recognition and always at the receiving end of verbal abuse.
Life can be cruel, especially to those who didn't strike the financial lottery when they are born. That's why I never understood why local grads care so much about grades and flex on UK grads, when all that matters is your family status.

This is some horseshit lmao. I’ve done my time in a big4 m&a practice and I have seen white horses get fired and asked to leave because they’re absolutely shite at their work. Ultimately law is a business - if the associate cannot pull his / her weight, it’s only a matter of time before it stops making business sense to keep someone like that around the office. Practice is the great equaliser because an SPA / SHA doesn’t give two ****s about family background.
I honestly don’t get the debate about local v overseas grads. No one cares after a few years in practice. The fact that people here talk so much about this just shows the demographic and insecurity of the commenters here. Probably largely comprising undergrads, trainees or NQs.
