Unregistered | Who are these "others" that are exclusively looking for UK graduates? Most of the top US firms I've seen have local grads in their ranks. | |

Unregistered | This may have been the case years ago, but most of the US firms paying White Shoe / Mid-Atlantic rates are very open to hiring local grads (or at the very least, UK grads with pure SG experience). Milbank, Mofo, W&C etc have quite a few. | |

Unregistered | This is a decision for the individual to make base on whether they think the 6 years in public sector can serve some purpose towards any subsequent move to private practice, or it’s too much opportunity cost. People here can only give suggestions based on their own views but don’t look to here to endorse if the individual has already decided or have a clear preference towards not being bonded. | |

Unregistered | Unfortunately you can't break into top US firms operating in SG with a NUS/SMU degree - some do hire laterally from big 4, but others are exclusively looking out for UK graduates with UK experience. | |

Unregistered | Don't waste time. The SMU valedictorian from Baker disputes has swept the LKY and Fulbright scholarships apparently. Is that called double recovery? | |
