UK grad starting my TC soon at an MC firm in London. Definitely planning to move back to Sg at some point in the future after qualification - mainly because parents are very old and family is there.

Around which PQE would be best to consider moving back to Sg? Are there any practice areas in which it would be better for me to qualify if I'm eventually going to move back?

All the MCs have a significant presence in SG so not difficult. Just don't do litigation.

Always been pretty curious why lawyering remains so popular among the younger ones. The fundamental issues plaguing our industry hasn't changed since more than a decade ago when i was a law student vying for TCs and then retention.

Oversupply at entry level, under-supply/attrition at mid level, terrible WLB, poor pay per hour, oftentimes bad mentors and bosses, or at the very least lousy managers (since technical legal skills don't translate well to people mgmt).

Now that law has lost its lustre to other industries like tech, why is it still so attractive? Amazingly, tHis industry still finds a way to suck in a fair amount of bright young JC kids when they have other better options.
That's because in one's youthful naivete, the kiddos assume that they would be the exception to the rule. After all, they are and may always have been top students and would surely overcome the issues plaguing the industry. No hate, I was once a young naive kiddo too.

That role is almost always permanently open. My guess is that it’s a revolving door of 0-1PQE lawyers not knowing what they are getting themselves into and quitting once they realise that it is a terrible workplace with horrid culture.

I have had friends who interviewed for the role and they did not have good things to say.

Looked at their website. No investments officer. The founder is an ex lawyer. Legal & compliance people are malaysian lawyers. Some marketing and BD people.

Contrary to what their name "investments" suggests and their "live deals" page , if u look at their service offerings, they are actually a small transactions/deals advisory shop and not an investments firm.

Being a loud mouth really helps ? Guess the phrase empty vessels makes the most noise has lost its meaning these days
