All in all, jobs and the rat race take away the best years of your life, spent sitting at a desk. Sometimes I really wish I had been born in a village with farmlands, doing nothing and just living in peace.
Sorry for oversharing, just got sentimental while writing this. I was thinking about it last night too so got a bit relatable.
Hiring is no joke for the firms. A full panel discussion happens on whether to hire a person or not. It's not like black and white. Things like this takes time, and it will obviously take time - lots of candidates are there before you and after you. People wait for months before getting confirmation.
Do not expect outright responses. It's with every field, not just law.
Would have been a great place to start off my career!
Since I already graduated in May and have been hunting for opportunities since then, such an experience stings and leaves a bad taste!
Also, I am pretty sure no video clips exist. Even if they do, just move on please.
Thanking the mods for featuring his and further fuelling the disparity between the elites and common folks! Kian would be proud!
It's okay, it'll get better! I hope you heal from whatever you're going through!

Though they cracked CLAT and went to NUJS and then went to Ivy-leagues for LLM, still getting empanelled so early, was something that I still can't digest!
Rohatgi - Would rather not comment.
He was Solicitor General in the UPA government, when he was in his late 40s, early 50s and was also recommended for SC judgeship.
He hasn't been popular over the past few years because he has not been regularly practicing in India and has spent most of his time in London. He appears in some high stake matters such as the Amazon-Future dispute and some Mining matters relating to Orissa
For a normal Advocate/AoR: Now, over here there are several kinds of people. You'd have to take into account the overall impression of the Advocate/Aor. The pay would firstly depend upon their own earning capacity. This earning capacity would depend upon: no. of filings/appearances/empanelments/good clients, etc. For people who have a healthy balance of the aforesaid, you can score (even for a fresher) a salary of 30k-40k. I seem to remember that v recently, Mr. Kunal Chatterji (AOR & Standing Counsel, WB) was offering somewhere in this range. So, for people who have good metrics, they will pay a somewhat respectable amount. For these boutique firms etc, the same funda as applicable to normal advocates apply.
Although few in number, there are also several Senior advocates who hire freshers as their Chambers colleagues. A good way to approach a senior is to visit courts and try to talk to them in person in order to score an interview. Since you're a fresher, the senior may not consider your application when sent through an email. So, try to approach them in person during lunch/tea breaks. Please try don't live under the impression that they will snub you - the Seniors tend to receive juniors asking for advice, etc., better than most other advocates. If you end up at a Senior's Chambers even as a fresher, you can expect a pay of around 50-60k.
Best of luck!
It also depends on your rank in the final merit list, i.e., higher the rank, faster the promotions. The entire batch selected in one year is not promoted together, promotions are in smaller groups based on ranks.
30-32 is on the late side, so, so unless your rank is very high, most probably you might not make it to PDJ of a district, but you will surely become a ASJ/ADJ.
HC, 95% no chance.
