Hope you'll enjoy this video, and let me know your thought on the BEST legal job
It's great that you finally update the channel much often.
You guys’ support is appreciated!
Tier list is a great idea for a video! Can you do one for practice areas in law? I would love to hear your thoughts on each, with different metrics like pay, work life balance, kind of work, kind of clients etc.
I will see if I can do one!
Great content bro👏
Appreciate it!
Very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great video
Thanks!
what about starting your own law firm?
Bro do you have any tips on how to choose training contract seats? I start my TC next month with the psc and then my first seat in sept and I m not too sure what to to prep :) any guidance would be useful pls :)
I think it’s good to start with a corporate seat, it’s a easier one to start with as less technical knowledge is required
@@GordonChung sure thanks bro!
Nah bro compliance officers in FINTECH make a killing.
I'm going to study law and English is not my native language. Do you have any tips for improving English? BTW I'm a slow learner.
law graduate with honours here, you need to read read and read more only speak in English, only consume English content be it movies, tv shows etc.
I’m not as focussed on the ranking but more on your thoughts towards the different professions. Personally id say your thoughts on these are quite typical of lawyers today who pursue prestige and financial success. In short it is the capitalistic view of success, but isn’t for everyone. For me personally I think you have a narrow view of the work criminal barristers do. A criminal lawyer will not and should not try to advance a case if he himself is unconvinced of the client’s guilt. Many criminal lawyers advise clients to plead guilty and do a mitigation plea instead if facts are not in their favour. Instead I find that working as a commercial lawyer could prick more on the conscience because the power of money pressures lawyers to do whatever they can for wealthy sophisticated clients. It is also the justification of “it’s just business” which motivates lawyers to advance cases which they don’t really believe in. If you delve deeper into it one could argue that the greater evil is not people who commit blue-collar crimes, but corporations who use commercial lawyers to skirt the laws and sue one another over seemingly petty disputes which make their way to court simply because of the large sums of money involved. Just saying it’s more complex than that for people watching this video :)
Hey, what do you think are the most important things to consider before applying for a Law degree?
Also what qualities do you need to become a solicitor and why should I not just do say consultancy instead?
@@leonjustleon the law is a broad field. in terms of its financial aspect, this video is quite helpful. dont expect to earn much as a criminal lawyer, but expect to earn a lot more if you work in corporate settings. i'd recommend shadowing a GOOD lawyer or going for an internship if you consider lawyering as a profession. i think you need the ability to be detail-oriented, work extremely hard with great communication skills if you intend to be a good lawyer. the thing is most of these skills can be learnt if you're smart enough to get accepted into law school.
@@leonjustleon personally, i joined law because i like advocating for people and doing my part to make the world a slightly fairer place. hence im in non-corporate legal fields related to family law, criminal law, etc. but if you're more into financial security, and working in corporate settings, I don't see how being a corporate lawyer is that much different from being a consultant tbh, apart from having legal skills. that's why many experienced corporate lawyers can transition into consulting roles, but consultants cant transition into corporate law without a law degree and legal training.
@@jbrkjferkjbekjb I really appreciate the advice.
Law is boring
Not one of your better videos in my opinion…. The whole concept of ranking occupations like that for me wreaks of pomposity
Appreciate the honesty!
@@GordonChungThank you for not taking offence. I usually love your videos, keep it up 👍
Could you do a video on how trainees or lawyers from the UK looking can move to work abroad in Hong Kong? Which practice areas are more desirable? What skills are needed? What is the process like? Thanks :)
