Unfortunately this is the low-paying and arduous route they make wanna-be Profs go through…

If only i had money to go for an Oxbridge undergrad law degree, can skip all these nonsense steps.

It’s almost like a P2P mmorpg.

This is gold.

Wasn't there a mass exodus of young academics from NUS Law recently? I wonder what happened.

wad do u mean by best type of work among mid tiers? just because they have flashy website n linkedin savvy partners/lawyers?

Fervent is arguably better than Dentons. Joke of a firm.

Say so much but do these firms do wall street work not. TSMP is one of the few mid tier firms that are ranked pari passu with Big 5 and baker on chambers

But if your undergrad is say NUS/London, regardless of where your Masters are from (everyone knows you just need to pay), they make you go through a “Sheridan’s Fellow” as a testing ground to see if you can prove your worth…and eventually make it to Assoc Prof and Assistant Prof.

Lol if you don't know don't talk crap leh.

I am currently teaching at NUS and I can tell you the progression does not work that way at all.
