Why a Master 2 after an LLM?

I did an llm in France, apparently, the llm in french schools is equivalent to a master 1. In France, there is a master 1 and master 2.
So my question is, what are the reasons for doing a master 2 after the llm?
And, does doing an llm without a master 2 mean that my llm degree is incomplete somehow?
I am not interested in working in France. I will be returning to my home country.

Thanks.

Hey,

The problem in France is that the master 1 is theoretical instead of the master 2 which is professional with a mandatory training. So a master 1 is not enough !

Except that an LLM is not the same as master 1. And, what would be the point of doing a Master 2 if one doesn't want to work in France? I think the issue relates to equivalencies and the way each country perceives the academic degrees. A french person may perceive the LLM as a master 1 and as not enough, but, in anglosaxon countries, the LLM is a degree on its own, where you both write a memoire and do the soutenance. In addition to that, in the USA, for example, you have masters of laws that are not LLM.
I have a USA JD already, by the way.

So, what would an LLM be under the french academic equivalent?

Thank you.

Well, some classmates talked to the director of the LLM program and it was implied that in France, the LLM is the equivalent of a Master 1.
