from the second post, we can assume he was talking about a job/internship at a firm overseas, most likely UK or some other english-speaking country (I hope, because if it was HongKong or some other place, the information would be useless for me seeing I only know English and French :()

Ok, instead of waiting for OP to share, which hasn't happened to me yet, I did a search and combed through the results. Here are some threads that I found informative. Enjoy everyone!

Working in Asia
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=116222
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=120055
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=135985

Working in Europe:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=104114

Working internationally when you are a PI junky:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=149331

Thinking about contacting firms when you are an 0L, check this first:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=125841

Several threads on how helpful being bilingual is (although I will say take them with a grain of salt):
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=144383
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=138421
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=154676

Edit to add: If anyone knows about how to obtain a SA or FT position in a US firm's foreign office, please chime in. tyia

Nice! Although I took some glances at most of the threads and it's not very helpful (not many people have experience in the particular interest). However, there was one post by 'General Tso' who talked about how he knew people who had SA position at biglaw international offices--DLA Piper in Paris, specifically. More research time! :D

(an SA position in paris would make me...delirious)

:lol: on the comment about generaltso.

There are a few other posters who seem to have some experience. Read through some of them again, and you will see. Although, these threads are very limited. I wish that we can have more info.
