At some point during your first few years in the Legal Service, you will be sent to do the Singapore Bar Exams to qualify as an advocate and solicitor. This is the same route everyone takes. The only difference is that your work in the Legal Service counts as fulfilling your training requirement in lieu of a Training Contract.
Sorry for my imprecise question - what I actually would like to know is whether Big 4's corporate side will hire qualified Assocs from CCS/ACRA/IPOS/IRAS/MAS/EDB?
If yes, is that common/uncommon practice? Is qualifying through these stat boards seen as an advantage/disadvantage by Big 4 recruiters?

Thanks!
