A PhD is a final degree, and it's a weird place between student and scholar. You aren't expected to produce a Noble Prize research, but you are supposed to use it as a launch pad for future research work. That is why a PhD is 3 to 6 years. It's upto you in the end.
It's obviously NLU tripura.
There are not even 80 lawyers left in the firm at this point
God complex at the top (ok thats fine).
God complex in the middle (really why?). Wannabe God complex at the bottom(WTF?).
Any idea where SK is gone and doing well?

However, despite this background, I have yet to see concrete job prospects, which has been unsettling. I am now considering a switch in practice area but am unsure which field would be both highly rewarding and provide solid job opportunities before graduation. I am ready to put in long hours, as long as the work is challenging and well-compensated.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
At least for me.
I'm a corporate fellow for the last 9 years, I have sciatica, migraines and carpal tunnel. My colleague has spondylitis.
Credentials of the authors and the Times aside, does the moderator actually mean to say that elite academia is NOT dominated by the left? Has the moderator even seen an NLU/Jindal first-year syllabus these days?? Marx, Hobsbawm, Butler, Foucalt, Cornel West, Franz Fanon, Partha Chatterjee, Amartya Sen, Romila Thapar, even Kancha Ilaiah and Suraj Yengde... this is what is being fed to first years.
And what about Adam Smith, Burke, Locke, Nozick, Chesterton, Friedman, Hayek, Bhagwati, Palkhivala, Sowell, Shourie etc? ZERO coverage.

I mean this with complete goodness of heart. If despite 4 years in the profession, such questions torment you, please consider if you should still stay in the legal field, let alone litigation. This field is brutal. Your naivety will burn your career or whatever to ashes. You might be academically sound to survive for some years. Can your general personality back you up though?
You have to go back to the drawing board man. Don't waste your youth and life life this
Please don't compare NLSIU students with students of other colleges.
Your career is majorly defined by you and not the college. You will see failures from NLS and success from MD University; the Courts treat all equally. Since you’ve already gotten into a fairly decent college, don’t leave it only because it isn’t an NLU. Also, your college being in Delhi already puts you a few steps ahead of many Tier 2/3 NLUs and that location advantage is huge for internships etc.
Please bear in mind that TIME is the most precious currency in this profession. Don’t waste a year, because five years down the line, that one “extra year” could be used for exploring a new practice area, LLM, work in a different chamber, or anything you can't calculate presently. Focus on building substance: internships, mentorships, court exposure, and consistent learning.
Needless to mention, none of this is applicable if you are some HNI's son/daughter.
