What they’ll not tell you is that the workload is going to be such that in reality, you’ll hardly have time for your own matters.
As of well paying, majority will pay you around a lakh. Those who pay more have a significant waiting or requires serious networking.

will things get better for bo’26/27?
And that brings me to a larger question: how has recruitment really been in these colleges, going past propaganda on LI?
This attitude of semi-literate politicians catering to the lowest denominator has already harmed NLSIU. Domicile reservation was foisted upon it, even though it was clearly set up as a national institution modelled on the IITs and IIMs. The Karnataka High Court ruled in favour of NLSIU, but pressure was still put.
And now, Bangalore is becoming dangerous because of goons harassing non-Kannada people and Siddaramaiah encouraging them.
P.S. Yes, I am calling the city Bangalore and not Bengaluru. Cope.

Because your partner has gone through so many tough situations professionally, they/ them is most likely desensitised by now and will do anything/ everything to get a deal done. They are used to working with senior colleagues, so they will expect same level of work and commitment from you. Whereas you will not be able to deliver as need to slowly get used to the work environment and grasp context of various new matters. Your partner is in Season 10, you’re in Season 1. If you try to cram it like an exam, you’ll HATE the TV series. Also, burnout.
Solution: try to find a buffer. On any matter, work with SA so they can protect you from partners expectations. Or if there is no one and it’s just you and the partner on the matter, record all your calls/ write down questions, and then ask some other colleague on different matter, your basic legal doubts. Dont ask the partner questions no matter how much they say they are approachable. If you have to ask questions, ask them strategic questions, which show that you understand the matter, and you are predicting next steps in the matter.
You’re young, you have hobbies. You want a life outside work - you absolutely deserve it. Then why are these senior lawyers so against it/ or why do they seem to work 14 hours even on Sat/ Sun? Commitment to work? Sure, but also….
Both of you are at different stages. You’ve just moved to a new city. You’re finally earning money and not having to ask your parents permission to go out or get pocket money. You are excited about new beginnings and you want to try out the cafés serving tiramisu or visit the upscale sushi place. You want to live your life and you should.
For your law firm partner, they/ them have already done that, and by the time you hit your mid 30s, even though you have all the money in the world, you have lost the excitement to go out and do stuff. As an ambitious, hard working person, what do they do then? They stay in and focus on the work. Because that keeps them busy, gives them a sense of progress in life and gets them appreciation from colleagues.
Point is - Don’t give up on your hobbies. They make life worth living. If you work 24 x 7, Work will suck up your time. So try to join local gym or community and meet new people who aren’t lawyers and who don’t live in such distorted realities.

I am confused and want to make the best combo. Would be glad if I hear different perspectives
They only do big deals in terms of issue size.
