We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
You wont get any of that stuff handed to you. But if you start and work hard theres really no reason why you cant eventually get to the top of your field.
If OP is a general category student struggling to get a job, I think it’s perfectly legit advice to go to NZ.
On the other hand, a government job or an MBA seems a better option, but the high cutoffs in the general category seats mean that only the cream of the crop make it for the most coveted positions.
So what are the remaining options? LPO? MBA from a lower ranked institute? Perhaps enrol somewhere in Canada or New Zealand?
