A T1 job, by its very nature, is already an unforgiving and attempting to pair it with a competitive exam self-sabotage.
Since you're an A0, you're relatively young and can use that in your favour. Speak to your partner sincerely and drop out. Prepare seriously and give it your best. If it works great, otherwise you can always come back.
P.S. I don’t wanna quit my job to take the exam. I think I’m preparing well after office hours, which are reasonable, but it’s still necessary to be present most of the week.
I’m sure the person must have thought it through for making this post.

The other partners are generally seen wearing Seiko, Tissot, Tag etc. Nothing too fancy.

Let's see how things roll for NKC. Must be getting a cushy sinecure from the state govt or its allies in the pvt sector. SNU, Techno? Have a feeling it will be some Forensic thing under state
Do I have any option and is any other firm going to hire me with offer and experience letters? What do you guys suggest?
PS: This book was recommended to me by a judge;)
location preference: Delhi and Mumbai
(I’m in 4th year)
1. If you’re working in a litigation chamber (Delhi, Mumbai, or elsewhere), what actually happens in the interview? What are they looking for?
- 2. For freshers, what kind of questions usually come up? Are they testing knowledge, temperament, or just whether you’ll survive in court corridors?
- 3. For freshers, which laws or fundamentals should one brush up on before walking in?
- - 4. For those with some PQE, how do the questions shift: more on law, case strategy, or ethics?
-
5. Be it fresher or otherwise, what does it take to secure a position and make a mark once you’re inside?
This thread is for everyone trying to decode the litigation side of interviews, what chambers expect, how to prepare, and how to actually navigate a career in court practice.
There’s already too much noise about corporate placements. Let’s build a real pool of insight for litigation aspirants.
While I have interest in IBC, Taxation and Tech law/TMT, I have heard from many people, including threads on this platform say that IBC as a field is oversaturated and no firm is hiring for IBC teams, similarly taxation is considered not a very lucrative career option, I never understood why, and not many opportunities are available in TMT considering I want to work in Delhi. In the end everyone ends up recommending to do M&A, gen corp etc. which I have no interest in.
I'm looking to laterally shift to Pune firm, Legalogic is on my priority list since it is the biggest in the market.
I have heard lot of good things about it's culture.
Can someone from inside (possibly HR🙏) PLEASE tell
1. What is the hiring cycle?
2. What is the pay structure?
3. What is the increment percentage?
4. What is the appropriate time to apply for lateral shift?
I'm looking for a change in practice area with productive environment. I have an experience of 6 months in tier 1 banking practice.
I did a Tier-I internship with the litigation team and my team was actually pretty decent. The associates who alloted me work were kind enough to help me understand things again and again when I didn't understand it. I would honestly rate myself as an intern pretty average or maybe, even below average (maybe I am being too hard on myself so idk). And because of how sometimes during the internship, I would fail to grasp things quickly or some small mistakes I made that could have been completely ignored, it made me want to quit law. However, i have decided that I am not run away just because I failed once and I really want to get better. So guys, how do I get better? Please help :))
Thank you!
Even in the present case, action was taken after his social media post. What prevented him from posting it before paying the bribe? It takes only 5 mins to make a post.
You also rarely see the likes of Gavai and Chandrachud discussing this. Always coming to NLUs and giving gyan about how NLUs are elitist and law firm oriented. What about these issues, bro??

There are also online mental health resources and some counsellors who offer discounted rates and pay-as-you-can if finances are a concerns.
If you had been into a similar role, I would love to hear how your experience was.
Also, what kind of opportunities would be available after such an experience (in Indian law firms or non-tech companies)?
Will definitely try to follow what everyone has written here. Requesting for feedback from others as well especially people who have recently set up their practice. Let's share as many thoughts, ideas, pros and cons. Even if we don't implement all the points but still end up implementing a few, it will be win!!
Cheers
