Specifically interested in the Cambridge LLM because of personal reasons. Would it make a difference to my profile and appeal to recruiters and firms (both international and local), and is the Cambridge LLM significantly less prestigious than the Harvard LLM or Oxford BCL. I see a number of judges having the Cambridge LLM, but I keep hearing that the other two are much highly regarded.

Appreciate any constructive views given the financial costs involved. Thanks a million in advance!

Cambridge LLM is slightly less prestigious but it doesn't really matter from a private practice standpoint, as employers care more about your experience and grades. All three are considered brand name unis and which you choose won't be the deciding factor.

I am a local grad with 1 pqe less than you and am currently in a bank. My salary is about 25% more. Bonus is around 3-6 months as well. I felt that my pay is currently on the low-average level.

OP here. Damn, if you feel that you’re on the low-average scale, that means I’m seriously underpaid.

how can 1pqe be inhouse counsel? usually it is 3-6 years practice then can go inhouse
