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 Frenchtheturkeyisfat wrote:i'm curious about what you originally posted. can you fill me in?Anonymous User wrote:Edit: don't want to be outed since a few classmates know.

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!tea_drinker wrote:Ok, instead of waiting for OP to share, which hasn't happened to me yet, I did a search and combed through the results.

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.
