How many Assessment Centres have you done? So many useful stories. I mean I hardly move beyond application stage and make a cut for very few Assessment Centres. very informative video by the way.

[@GordonChung]

Thanks for your words, as I remember I did around 5 assessment centres and final interviews before. I also got rejected by many firms at application stage, but I just kept trying

Hello Gordon. Do you think it's easier to work in a foreign country through legal Academia than through the process of obtaining training contract? Would love your thoughts on this. Best!

[@GordonChung]

Hi there, want to know what you mean by legal academia in this context?

[@depressedcheeseburger3598]

@@GordonChung A LLM + PhD route to be a professor.

[@GordonChung]

@@depressedcheeseburger3598 I think firstly it depends on what occupations you prefer. Other than that, being a professor in countries like US or UK could be as difficult as working a lawyer in those places. But if you can secure a good PhD programme at a reputable university or you have impressive publications - academia may be a better option.
