I second that. JUST DO IT. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.

how old is old? if dont have fb and/or ig u better make sure she isn't already someones mother

rule of thumb is stay away from people with jd, they got their first degree before ur kukubird got hair.

3) tbh out of all my work placements and all my firm dinners i've met exactly 3 non-Brits (2 associates 1 partner) so it's not great lul

2) I wouldn't worry too much about the effects of Brexit on the legal sector. English law is still widely used to govern contracts even where both parties aren't even based in the UK. While it may require firms to pivot their focus from Finance practices to more general Corp. and Disputes work, its hardly going to sink the industry as a whole.

Any initial dip in the pound come Brexit is likely to recover once the dust settles. Assuming you leave around 3PQE, that gives over 5 years for exchange rates to normalize.

3) Maybe you've just been unlucky with the firm representatives. I've seen plenty of international people in the industry, especially at the more junior stage.

So to ameliorate the risk of a small island being on its own, you’re planning to move to an even smaller island that’s already on its own?

Reading your kkb posts makes my day. Pls continue posting such entertaining posts.

Its always better to work where the shot callers are, especially for career progression and job security. E.g. in a financial downturn, do you think firm leaders will be more prepared to axe the lawyers a few doors down from them or those in a far flung (and most likely less profitable) office.

2) During your TC you might not be saving much more than in SG (largely due to housing costs - but do you really want to be living with your parents in SG until your early 30s?), but at NQ and above your salary will quickly outstrip those in SG. And if you can make it as partner at a top firm in London, your income will be astronomical compared to any SG firm.

3) Plenty of international people in London. Very cosmopolitan city.

Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill is unrelated to A&G Singapore. Try Rahmat Lim & Partners.

how?

try not to shag other people on the course. it makes it awkward if you don’t share stuff with them next time (other than your bodily fluids ofc)

Pls don't marry another lawyer. Statstically likely to end up in an unhappy divorce. I know u think law girls r all there r but the world is much much bigger. I assure u by the time u hit senior associate u will be hot stuff among girls in other industries. Assuming u keep in shape of course

There are 2 kinds of girls in law. They are either incredibly demure and reserved, or super extroverted and out there. I have yet to meet some one that is in between the 2. Moral of the story: don't strike off law girls altogether. Just look for the right ones, altho the irony is that these are probably not found on CMB or Tinder, and you probably won't meet one. LOL
