Indians as max will only make a subtle comment and leave it there, whites may take physical actions and even record it to humiliate you
If you put your head down and work, keep your ego aside and have the genuine desire to grow and learn, I don’t understand how age could be a problem. The battle will majorly be internal- taking orders from ppl much younger than you but that’s totally up to you. Once you’re in the system, your work and attitude will decide your future. Getting in might be a little hard considering the ageism that exists and recruiter’s perception about your fragile ego, but that’s going to be everywhere unless you start something of your own.
If law is something you really want to do- go for it and try getting into NLU Bangalore if you can. I’m sure you’ll meet at least 1 person around your age.
Will the same be true for In-house, etc. roles?If I did very good in all the semesters & learn a lot during internships, is it possible to land in a fairly paid in-house role, may be in an NBFC,AIF, etc, if not big banks, for same reason you highlighted above?
Thanks again, for your suggestions!
But moving abroad requires atleast a handsome capital.I've a few friends who were admitted to a M.Research at good univ. in UK, but life there is not good at all, mostly working everyday, all evening in restaurants, uber, etc., & for living, & getting into PhD is far tougher there, than India..life is tough EVERYWHERE!!!!
I find no problem in working under younglings but superior in experience!
But, if one puts equal effort & dedication into the job, why wouldn't they become partners due to age?it takes 9-12 years to become a partner na, generally ofc, I understand there may be so many other factors.
Hope this helps u w some context as to state of things
Any updates on joining month?
Try ELP for comp law.
have you considered policy jobs? like those policy teams in SAM/CAM or boutique law firms like Ikigai
or think tanks like The Dialogue?
How much overlap would it be in such teams between policy and legal work?
Would really love anybody's inputs.

This begs the question: will law firms hire just anybody to be on their payroll as long as they turn in a halfway decent work regardless of how actively damaging these people are to many others?
I’m not an idealist and I know in a practical sense, it makes sense that any halfway decent worker will get hired. But seeing the kind of people getting into leading firms makes me realise why the law firm culture is so toxic in the first place.
