It’s been about a couple of months since I joined a firm in Delhi in the Corporate team. Unfortunately, the work has been limited, with very few transactions and not much scope for learning or real skill-building. I’ve been trying to explore other opportunities, but nothing seems to be working out so far, and I’m starting to feel stuck.
I graduated from one of the better private law schools and had good internships at Tier 1 firms. I was even close to securing offers from some of them. Due to personal reasons, I couldn’t take those up at the time, which I now regret, especially since I know I’m capable of more than what I’m currently doing.
If anyone has any suggestions or even just advice on how to move forward, I’d really appreciate it.
In 2025: “Done.” 💅

The post quickly went viral, with many Indian professionals expressing similar concerns about India’s steep tax structure, particularly for salaried individuals with little room for deductions. Commenters pointed out that the lack of proportional public services — like healthcare, infrastructure, and safety — makes high taxpayers feel disillusioned.
Some suggested negotiating variable pay structures, stock options, or perks in lieu of a higher fixed salary. Others advised rejecting the offer entirely if the mental and physical toll isn’t worth the marginal increase in savings.

1. Are known decent to great mentors
(This can be fundamental in starting a career in Litigation)
(Ik no one has time, but some people are generally better mentors, so please suggest those name.
2. Can pay decent
(Good enough to survive decently and probably save a bit)
3. Aren't too old but ones who actually have good work coming and need to actually delegate work to juniors
(To not care about the practice anymore as their practice is on auto pilot)
(Not someone who's juniors aren't just checking boards for them, and going to Courts with them but someone who's juniors are actually involved in the day to day litigation)
P.s. I have done substantial research online and during my college intership, and I know few known common name of seniors so please suggest names you had good experience with based on your own practice please.
Grateful for the leads.
