Curious about the sentiment people would have for this. For one, it goes against the initial purpose SUSS was designed for. However, in their shoes, I would do the same thing.
I think it's impossible for them to not pursue big law - the cost of studying at SUSS was very high. Can't really survive if you are paid like Chinatown rates.
