Im currently an intern(trainee) at bm tax. However unlike you I realized I don’t want to become lawyer. I received many offers from big law firms to start as an associate after I graduate. I’m from a country with a civil law juridisction, so an llm is enough for us to start as a jr associate.
However I feel like I’m not a fit in the corporate world, especially the law firms. I have 0 things in common with the people working here, and ofcourse some may say you only work there to earn money. But for me the working environment is so important, especially my colleagues. Moreover I feel so stupid, compared to all my peers working here. Sometimes my head literally breaks in two, because I don’t know where to start researching - lot of problems are so vague.
It’s so hard to tell anyone about my situation. Everyone tells me I am living the dream of every law student - receiving many offers, still everyday I feel so disappointed in myself for not being happy with my current situation. I’m postponing my thesis in order to get more time to figure it out what I want to do in life. Glad to see you found your passion :)
I hope you will find a path that suits you too, thanks for sharing your journey with us all! ))
Hope you enjoy this video, have a lovely Sunday!
Thanks a ton! I will immerse myself in your quote "you can always earn back the money you lost, but you can never earn back the opportunity you missed."
💪🏻 thanks for watching!
My friend recommended your channel to me and it's a breath of fresh air! As someone who is also currently studying in Hong Kong and hopes to work as a lawyer in the UK in the future, I want to thank you so much for the content you've been producing. :)
Thank you to your friend! I hope you achieve your goal, dm me if you have any question!
Thanks for the motivation Gordon, seriously I’m doubting my passion in law now. My grade was heavily affected due to the COVID and online teaching scenario, it was really hard for me to maintain same level of quality in my exams no matter how hard I tried. Knowing that law is an industry that really focus on GPA, I’m nearly at the edge of giving up....
Please don’t give up
Great video! I definitely agree w the fear point .
Thanks!
You can’t change where you’re from but you can change where you’re going💪🏻
💪🏻💪🏻
This is exactly what I needed to hear and it really puts things into perspective. Thanks Gordon!
No worries!
thank you Gordon bro. I needed this dose of motivation. See you next Sunday bro! Always inspiring to hear your story :) I'll work harder this week to chase my goals! :)
Thanks for always being here!
This motivation is what we needed! Thankyou x
No worries!
Really needed this! As an international student aspiring to pursue my masters in the UK and work there as a lawyer, this is just so reassuring.
💪🏻 good luck to you
Love your channel! Really needed this :)
Thanks! :)
So inspiring, I needed this at this moment. And your hair looks so good when it is not waxed and tucked backwards.
Glad you like it - haha thanks for the compliment
@@GordonChung and thankx for adhering to my advice, if my guess is right.
Truth is I’m being lazy loll
Are you Hong Konger? Nice to meet you!
Yes, I’m 👋🏻
👍👍👍
Thanks
Omg you have been to italy? please introduce some of them to me if they are working in legal field. I also appreciate if you can help me using your own experiences. I really can use good advice.. im planning to apply for milan university 2022. I have two questions
1. is the over qualification issue it italy or it is just canada and U.S?
I mean should I take phd or another LLm (I already have one) or just a simple course in some institution? If I take phd it would become harder to take job considering that I don't like academic positions?
2. What major should I apply for. International trade law? International private law? Or corporate law?
My main goal is working as a lawyer for a corporate which sends me to international trips if necessary I mean i don't wanna be a divorce attorney or something INSIDE the borders of italy.
What should I do. Where should I start? waiting for your msg. Thx in advance.
Such an inspiration
🙏🏻
