For MC- Join big 4/slb and do time there + take NY bar (ideally) or alternatively UK bar. You can then stroll into MC interview pretty easily. White shoe is diff ballgame. May need MBFC Tower 1 or MCpedigree.

Have a hobby and be able to talk about, be it reading, running, football, scuba diving, horse riding.

Know more about the firms through formal directories and informally whether through RoF or ATL.

Be confident.

If after a few tries it doesn’t work - join A&G first (unless you are already there).
Any chance for Malaysian to join MC or WS in SG?
Lets say from A&G's associate firm in MY (RL&P)

Or is practice in SG on another level compared to MY?

if at associate firm, then come over to the big 4 equivalent in Sing, do time (1-2 years) and uk bar to stand a chance for SC/MC. question to always ask is how do you stand out from the Big 4 crowd to gain that 1 x coveted spot. no shortcut to success unless extremely well-connected or lucky

As for WS, you generally need MBFC Tower 1 or SC/MC pedigree, unless extremely well-connected or lucky

Is the New York bar useful for the purposes of transitioning to a UK firm?
