1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Spare us your spew on "equality feels like oppression". The reality is the current generation of men is eating the dirt for the past generations sins as we force a remedy on work force participation rates in white collar jobs with some power and prestige.
We also know why it suits management to hire women (for various financial and better left unsaid reasons). Just like why Indians are preferred in management roles in the US and why white woman control client facing roles.
They are more "manageable" and "predictable". They keep clients on "hook". Thats all skill too, no doubt. Wish more people admitted it rather than play into sociological semantics and culture wars. Men worth their salt negotiate hard and take more risks - so there is a cost associated to having them.
Most work is from one domestic conglomerate, we know the games played with other clients. Don’t make us say more things.
Dedicated competition teams will not be many. There are very few cases and fewer clients.

Mostly importantly, please learn to hold an opinion by yourself or even hold space with your clients on your own.
You got him.
Now, N'joy.
Anyone got the masala chai, dhokla and khandvi?
1. Join the UPSC Group A service
2. After 2-3 years, resign and complete an LLM from abroad (with full scholarship)
3. Come back and join a chamber in Delhi where juniors get paid
4. Slog for next 10 years atleast.
But to answer your question- NO you won’t lose out if you don’t join the practice immediately
Warm regards.
Listening to AI doom trollers cost many people a guranteed job in the US earning 6 crores a year on average.
88 hours it solved a mathematics problem? they stole the answer and then blackmailed the HUMANs who actually solved it.
AI will kill mind numbing work, now the sad reality is most corporate jobs were mind numbing work, if you were possessing the skill set of having sophisticated language while doing nothing more challenging than a white collar employee, you will get swallowed alive, if you have a brain that functions, you are good.
the recent doom troll about AI killing humans was something these AI bros were spewing in the 1980s saying its a few years away since then, they will say it in 2070s too and your grandchildren will be hearing the same nonsense, its just IPO hype.
The twitter post that kicked this off came 7 minutes after an article from WSJ quoting the guy leaving anthropic, he said the CEOs downplay the AI risk? Bruh those AI bimbos have been going on and on about how AI will kill all of us for ages, this year both dario and sam have said in podcasts how AI will kill all humans but they're downplaying risk.
everyone in AI is incentivised to make AI seem better cause all their employees got paid in stock options which only have value if their ipo next month is going to go well.
Further another aschenbrenner who runs a famous trending doom troll and then decides to start a company with billions in funding is also likely in fact most probable.
Look at guys who have left big AI wings like Yann Lecun who won a turing award btw, who says AI cant compete with cats let alone humans in terms of reasoning and rationale.
As for the alleged notoriety, it seems to be the fate of all elite institutions: everything happening inside these places acquires a disproportionate emphasis. The good that happens is expected and rarely invites comment and the bad that happens is frustrating and gets significantly greater attention.
the paralegal position exists as well, its for graduates and pays 65k a month, it's just almost never given out but some teams chose to take associates if an urgent vacancy arises through this route as it is a reduced cost and helps them assess the individual prior to confirming them.

1. For me its was good given I am a male and i had good knowledge of the subject. But if you you are a fresher learning opportunity is very limited as majority of the people are AI based lawyers.
2. ▮▮▮
3. Money offered at times is good, but that is also dependent on your previous salary.
4. There are selected partners who are really good, like sukrit, nivedita even the data privacy partners.
5. If your partner is chilled, office environment is very chilled.
6. There is a very high attrition rate across teams.
