An unfollowable blueprint. Man has class and wasn't afraid to reinvent himself.
● Please don’t give up on yourself. Self-doubt took over me too, and there were times I genuinely wondered whether I was good enough for this profession.
● Take it one day at a time. Everyone has a different learning curve. Some people take off immediately; some of us are diesel engines, we take a little longer to get going, but once we do, we’re just fine.
● Don’t compare yourself with the superstars around you. I’m still at the same firm, now as a partner, and I was offered partnership at the same time as peers whom I always thought were miles ahead of me. I could never have imagined that during my bad phase.
● Find a patient mentor. Someone who believes in you, teaches you without judging you and gives you room to make mistakes and grow.
● Be a little kinder to yourself. Make time for things and people that make you happy. Your job is important, but it isn’t your entire identity.
Give yourself some time. Keep learning, keep showing up, and trust that this phase will pass. Things almost always get so much better than they seem right now.
Other 4 are better contenders than Ahmedabad
These countries win more medals and have a stronger sporting culture. Also advanced countries: clean, safe, peaceful. No chhapris and dehaats pissing on the roads or harassing women.
Will be a miracle if we get it. And could backfire either way for Modi. If we lose, Raga and CJP will gloat. If we win, they will try to politicise small flaws and try to embarrass us.

someone who has done the switch please give thoughts
I’ll start by saying that the AURA farming he did was something I don’t think anyone else could replicate.
Do you agree?

She started with T1 A0 salaries being 18 to 24 lakhs per year. I have a few bones to pick with this.
As we’re all aware, it’s not a given that you’ll get your bonus in full every time. And even assumed 100% bonus, all T1 firms are at 20-21L right now.
Moreover, earlier TraceYourCase has said she switched to legaltech from a T1 firm (being JSA). Her pay at JSA would have been ~12-13LPA.
So not only is she inflating the amount people make in this career which can misguide/place unnecessary pressure on a lot of students, she is also insinuating her salary at a law firm was 2x what it really was…
I hate how this is the face of legal influencers tbh probably the worst person to have amassed a following
Why the lull?

Sibal was a minister from 2004-2014 and left a big void in the supreme Court. This was filled by Salve. So, Sibal's absence for a decade resulted in the meteoric rise of Salve.
Arnab Goswami's constant worshipping of Salve does not make Salve a bigger star.
As far as earnings are concerned, Sibal does a lot of pro bono matters while Salve is a pure mercenary. He only appears pro bono when the case gives him fame e.g. Kulbhushan Jadhav.
Sibal is also a much better chamber senior. He pays his juniors handsomely while Salve expects money in return from his juniors because they getting a chance to be his junior.
Why isn't the CJP tapping A-list Gen Z NLU talent? Ratna is a GGSIP grad who's mostly worked for LawBeat, Bar & Bench and Scroll. Just a few months of legal practice. Hardly matches up?
Why not Oxbridge/Ivy grads from NLUs?
Also, is there anything I should be mindful of before joining? And if you have any tips or insights for the interview, I’d really appreciate them.
While I started off with the idea of working very hard and making it big, I have started to feel exhausted lately.
I am either in office or sleeping at my home. Nothing else - no outings, clubbing or anything. While I still work hard to make it big someday, I wonder if the grind will be worth it.
Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts
