I am wondering if anyone here was in a similar situation and if they could share their experiences, and what would a realistic career path be.
I am also wondering about the legal services, specifically whether my qualifications would suffice to be a DPP in AGC or would i likely be an APP?

A realistic path is to work for small-medium law firms (<15 lawyers) doing mostly criminal defence, family or conveyancing work.
Legal Service has become extremely competitive and aside from JLC candidates and
PSC scholars they are probably take less than 15 person per year. Most of them are at least 2.1 in reputable overseas u or
nus or
smu.
APP appointment is usu for person who are not qualified to be called to the bar due to their uni degree. Since you will be a qualified person, you will be considered for DPP equivalent role. However the chances of getting selected is slim
