IMO support is not great at Big4 but that's kind of the standard across Singapore firms.

Working at A&G, being exposed to these deals, and working with partners who have a reputation in the market will all help to build your CV and look for exit options. As far as I can remember, A&G M&A used to be the place where all the international firms poached their M&A associates from - seems that international firms have expanded to include R&T, WongP etc. into their hiring pool, but I'm pretty sure that A&G M&A is still preferable.

Agreed. I think A&G M&A is distinctly better than WongP M&A, in terms of culture, prestige, training, quality of work/deals and exit options.

Going a bit deeper, A&G has a stronger public M&A team than WongP, although it's arguable that WongP has more of a focus on PE than A&G.

Culture at A&G >>> WongP.

JLC isn’t the be all and end all for lawyers. There there. If you’re good enough to get an interview, you’re good enough to land on your own two feet. Chin up.

Also, exit opportunities?

Don't go there for TC. Not a good culture to be in.

Exit opps wise, there are a few who have made it to the international firms.

Exactly . Looks like many JLCs trying to leave the system and join private / international firm. Which is hard for them with zero relevant experience. Better off starting in Big 4 like rest of us
