In no particular order, I mentioned a few names that came to me who are well known from the Calcutta and Bombay Bar of the yesteryears. Each of them, regardless of who they supported or what they did [SS Ray and Niren De for emergency, for example], they were the doyens of the Bar, for entire India. Each of them, barring very few, would have travelled all over India or substantially all over, aside from their parent HC, and the supreme court/federal court/privy council. You think he can be anywhere near them? Maybe you'd remove the names of a few, sure. But still Top 10? I don't think so.
Top 10:
Kanga
Ambedkar
Munshi
Palhivala
Nambyar
Nariman
Venugopal
Sorabjee
Parasaran

These Monday-Friday lawyers from Delhi will never feature. Nor will Jethmalani
Tumhari internship cancel
Also if you're working on fixed fee or blended rate matters, you can get screwed over by the final realised amount being far lesser than you expect.
Additional factor to consider is that in some cases, the bill may not be settled for ages so there may be months at stretch where you make no bill share.
i have relevant experience with two tier ones and a great profile yet they never seem to have slots

2..Try to go abroad, because Indian PhDs are often more stress inducing, in finding, entrance and everything else.
3. Market is tight. You've got to have things to stand yourself out.
5. Connections matter quite a lot while appointments.
1. 50% bonus before 31st March, rest in August (if any)
2. Arrears accrued from 1st April released in October
3. Delayed TDS filings
Koi tip ya help

Feels like TCS is hiring en masse from a Tier-3 engineering college.
Academics are not like other professionals, anyone who has done PhDs or even masters degrees with a thesis component knows that research requires a lot of time alone and I disturbed. Not colleagues dropping into your office to gossip or shoot the shit. That stuff only breeds petty office politics.
The folks that want biometric in and out timings know they cannot actually research and publish. The capability is just not in them to do good research. So you try and change the criterion you’re evaluated on. Make it about who spends the most time in office in Sonipat.
Honestly any university like Jindal which is placed in the middle of nowhere should be valuing faculty time. And making them waste in when they could be more productive writing at home or collaborating with people in delhi is just inefficient.
Open to T1/T2 - depending on the team culture and nature of work. Thanks!
