1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I am a recent graduate and have just joined a T1 firm. I want to desperately (for personal reason) move out of the country? I am okay with most jurisdictions i.e. UK, Ireland, Singapore, Australia, Canada & US.
Can someone who is experienced or has friends who have successfully made this maneuver please guide me? I know it’s bit difficult to transfer without some experience in Indian law firms but I am still holding out some hope.
P.s.: Please refrain from replying if you just want to make a comment on my decision to move out, I am looking for genuine advice.
Thank you in advance.
If you can bear the cold for 7-8 months of the year, Canada is a great option. You'll actually belong there and be treated just like anybody else.
Another alternative is going to a top 50 (as listed in UK's HPI visa eligibility list) and then taking the UK route through the high potential individual visa. I hope this helps.
