“I am a recent LPC graduate who is currently in talks with a law firm regarding a move to Hong Kong to work in capital markets. My thinking is that with HK being the financial centre it is, and the Asia region itself being better off than the London and US markets at the moment, I will be able to gain better experience in out there and weather the storm until the market picks back up again back in the UK.
“My question is to solicit advice on making such a bold move out to HK, and also to get a view on the potential harm/benefit this may have for my eventual training contract application in the UK. I have quite an international background already – will my move out there just get people in England scratching their heads even more?”
