I went the "work overseas and come back to Singapore" route and I highly recommend it if it is an option open to you. I spent a few years in London (Magic Circle) and semi-recently moved back to Singapore.

The appeal? Much better work, much better training and much better culture. Quality of work is way higher - far more sophisticated clients than in Asia that value quality more and spend a lot less time bitching about fees. Deals are not mind-numbingly cookie cutter and so your work is a bit more interesting. Training is much better - I heard in Big 4 you aren't allowed to even send external emails as a trainee? Where I was - you get involved in not just client-facing work but BD matters early on. Finally the culture is just way better - ang moh firms are far less intense and seniors look out for juniors - my partners try their best to protect my evenings and weekends and I do the same for my juniors. Even the firms 'notorious' for shitty work culture end work at like 11pm on average whereas I was looking at my Big 4 friends go into the mornings plus Saturdays on the regular.

The result is that when you come back to SG, your perceived market value is higher, your actual abilities are better, you haven't been ground down into a shitty person and you are far less burned out.

Gotta agree. The difference in culture between the B4 and MC firms is quite staggering. I will be fair to the B4 and say that nobody can doubt that they do top-quality work - but the amount of blood, sweat and tears that gets wrung out of their associates in the process of producing that work is far more than in the MC.
