Quite a few people sitting for the bar currently have changed TC's. How do I do that? I want to change to an international firm but I can't find out whether they have vacancies

You can wait till post call and just try to lateral in as a trainee. Links has a trainee program where they actively hire newly called SG lawyers.

in my exp most law grads are really in their own bubble. they either think law is the be all n and all of fields, or tt other industries dont pay as much, or other industries r such and such
in short, they get a lot of outdated n preconceived notions of what happens outside the legal industry frm other lawyers, usually seniors, or their friends or even worse their parents.
just take a look at the law students in NUS or SMU. they mostly hang in their own faculties and hardly mix with others. its symptomatic of the bubble mindset that's cultivated.
this informational silo only gradually disappears for some once they start working and have to interact with clients n the broader economy. even then it doesn't for some who still refuse to widen their perspectives. dunning kruger effect is widespread.
i say this as a lawyer who went inhouse where u start to realize how little u know abt how industry n companies work and how C-suite n management takes in info and makes decisions.

Quite a few JLC’s were from CC. You can try emailing Cha to see if you’re able to fill those slots. Heard quite a few are doing that.

Law, like any other industry, is full of dumbasses.
Doesn’t help that law students are constantly being told they’re hotshit and the cream of the crop - really enforces the inner dumbass and naďveté.
