Regarding sexism, that's not backed up by either source, and case could be made he was not modern-day progressive: https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ca.collapse/feminist-questions.htm
Similar regarding racism, there are strong rebuttals online: https://jacobin.com/2022/05/marx-race-antisemitism-history-andrew-sullivan-enlightenment
Thus, out of Chandrachud, Khanna and Gavai, could anyone NOT delegate the matter to Datta? How about Gavai? Could the VC selection then be deferred to May/June 25?
I'm assuming of course that the TMC government will not want Datta to be involved.

1. Work Environment: Heavily dependent on the team. Go for Mumbai office rather than the Delhi office, Mumbai work enviornment is better than Delhi. Delhi is politics heavy. Uncles will start survellance of who is and who isnt in office at 10 am.
2. Office Infrastructure: ▮▮▮ office location and ▮▮▮ office location. Funniest bit, even thier partners have shitty office space and chairs. ▮▮▮ . ▮▮▮ They have only 5 accounts for Manupatra and one account for SCC- and this place asks to be considered as a top tier law firm. ▮▮▮
3. Workload: Eh..depends a lot on your team. Some partners have good business but rest meh.. If you get good team, you may consider, but others a big pass. However, this will also depend a lot on where are you coming from and how desperate are you (are you jobless or a fresher or switching practice)? In Delhi office, I have seen most people leave by 7-8 pm (expect for few ▮▮▮ team). At least the Delhi office has a good attrition rate. Do a good due diligence on the partner before joining - some have threads here and some live here (see chatuguri comments for them carefully).
REMEMBER: Someone appesring to work all day and someone acutually working all day are two polar opposite thing. ▮▮▮
4. Pay: Penuts! In all seriousness, from what I recall:
A0- Rs. 40,000
A1- Rs. 60,000
A3- 75,000
SA- 1,25,000
Add:
1. 1 ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮.
2. ▮▮▮.
3. ▮▮▮
4. Bonus - only in your dreams because writing on a piece of paper and actually are two different things. Try of get as much as possible as base, bonus ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ (▮▮▮).

Harry Potter is a relic of the past. Her subsequent novels were pedestrian at best.
"Only 1 percent of eunuchs are born so, while the rest either pretend to be hijras (eunuch) or have been forced to join the community by abduction and castration, reveals a study by the All-India Hijra Kalyan Sabha (AIHKS)."

Interestingly they haven't done this survey since then have they? why not I would wonder?
According to this logic, if many women are sexually assaulted, we should assume that no woman can consent to sex.
To be clear- no uterus- no shedding of uterine lining- no bleeding- no weakening of body- no periods. Women are real.
Are Disputes lawyers also paid 75 k per month in both delhi and Mumbai?
I've never heard of anyone being called transphobic for exercising their autonomy over who they want to have sex with. So bizarre. These projections often are.
Please talk to me! I'm so sad that you won't. [also sarcasm since one has to label it]
Just to say I love all the assumptions here and am not surprised that you can't understand irony or sarcasm. I'll leave you to your fearful life, which is perhaps all some people will learn about feminism. Some of us will continue to believe that "no one of us can be free until everybody is free".
I am a Singapore based Indian lawyer..
For peeps at Allen and Overy - it will be more pay but hellish working hours. American firms are worse. Infact I felt US firms are as harsh or worse than most tier 1 shops in India. US firms have very high billing target (even as a fresher associate)
But the good thing is - a massive payhike. US firms pay the highest in the whole world. No European firm comes close to US firms when it comes to pay. US firms also work on the best deals.
But European firms do have far better work life balance. It's not as horrible as US ones. Maybe I am wrong - but a friend in NY told that CAM/AZB and US firms are equally horrible.
There is no Indian tier 1 like yelling or shouting in US firms. But you will pack bags sooner.
But most US deals are done in NY. It has to be seen how this synergy will workout.
The remaining factors are important but not necessarily considered when we label a firm as a T1 or a T2 or something.
