dunno if you will read this reply. But if you do, I was wondering if you would like to start a new thread and give your honest opinion about the law schools in the continent and may be career prospect post LLM, research culture etc. so basically things which school/uni websites will not tell you.
thanks
Intended to keep it 0 for the next 3 years. Currently saving money to build a house. I come from a lower middle class family.

I've been to 100+ countries, mostly on work. I have 8 passports, all from different countries, and all in different names.
I am on first name terms with bartenders in BVI, Cayman Islands and Hong Kong.
I also own lots of property. I own apartments in Istanbul, Moscow, Shanghai, and Buenos Aires, all of which are untraceable to me.
This is the kind of unnecessary splurging behavior that keeps people stuck in dead end law firm jobs. Also, goes without saying, I am middle class and I don't intend to "waste" my parents' money on foreign vacations.
would transit countries count?
if I am settled in another country will that country count?
will scotland count as a different country or fall under the UK?
will British Overseas Territories count as separate countries?
will disputed territories count as a separate country? eg. Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan etc.

30, X. Associate at a Tier 1, 7
Tips please :D/
Four of them in law school for competitions and an internship.
One for a Masters degree.
The rest for vacation after I started working.
I drown the pains of work, by excess cribbing about work, frequently telling people that I work long days and screaming that my work day is longer than any other profession (especially when no one asked for it) and travelling to a new country almost every other year, so I can wipe away my tears with the visa stamped passport pages.

I'm at NLUJ and joining a tier 1 and have peers who've been to like seven countries, backpacking through Europe choosing fancy ADR competitions to travel etc. whereas I can't afford to be anywhere and my law firm salary will just be enough to have some stability without any overseas travel.
Countries visited: Zero
Countries I'm planning to visit in the near future: Zero
Grinded away late teenage years preparing for CLAT, having no real financial backing otherwise.
Now, I'm planning to slave away in a law firm to make good money and finally achieve the prized socio-economic mobility. Of course, travelling won't be an option there.
I do plan to visit Russia some day. It is my childhood dream to explore that country.
A CAM associate who've visited 16 countries could be depressed and the litigator could be satisfied with his work. You can't judge someone based on these factors lol. I'm disappointed whoever you're lmao
30, CAM Associate, 15 countries
20, JGLS student, 6 countries
25, litigation junior to a Senior Advocate, no countries coz these guys don't pay
