Anyone could share some insights about Areness (Delhi)- particularly regarding the salary structure for an A0, the kind of work typically assigned at the junior level, and what the growth trajectory looks like at the firm. Any information on the work culture would also be really helpful

Don't be scared! You will do just fine.

If you want to get a start on readings, I suggest Avtar Singh on Contract and V.N. Shukla for Constitutional Law (M.P. Jain is better, but this book is a little easier). Anna's archive will be your best friend for finding more niche books and commentaries, but your college will probably give you access to Lexisnexis, EBC reader, where you will find most textbooks for Indian Law.

You don't need a nlu tag to get a placement at a t1 firm. Further if you already have your foot in the door through this internship the best you can do is leverage it by holding out a little longer. Try to convert this into a paralegalship once you graduate and in a few months you could be taken on full time. Moreover, there are many instances where firms have recommended folks after 1 internship for a PPO, so don't lose faith you've got this

Do internships, stand apart from your peers.

Your last semester be booked for long-term internship at such place where you have already interned and want to continue as an associate.

~trust me this is from someone who lost the opportunity, where you're in right now.

ALL THE BEST!

There is a very high chance that the proposal can be on tax law this year, who knows? And it doesn't have to be their core area, cause it is the UNI POOL. You usually get your worthless college alumni (talking about NLS) to judge your rounds, here you have a Goodman law firm which is of very good repute. Do the math yourself :)

Nliu is better than any tier-1 at this stage

This is sheer delusion bro, no one cares who partners up with yall for the university pools, its just intra moots nothing else, LKS will max to max give yall 6 month internship and that you can get through the portal very easily, there are things to be impressed at NLIU but this aint one of them.

I'm a flaming homo myself and I do not want my law firm to get involved in my life in any manner whatsoever. My identity is not tied to my work and I don't want validation from Khaitan/Indus HR on who I am attracted to or who I'm sleeping with. It's crass and unnecessary to be exposing your private and personal choices at the workplace. I don't like it when the straights do it, I don't condone it when we do it. If they want to support me, they can very well add 3 lakhs to my bonus so I can go be gay in Ibiza for a week.

It is always Gen Corp & M&A. However, it is not easy to get in as there is a lot of competition. If you want to get it easy then choose areas like cap marks, Labour and Employment. There is a shortfall of quality students interested in these fields. So, you will face less competition.

Don't look for Competition Law teams, they are small and for some reason, everyone wants to do competition law in recent times.

I'm honestly tired of bangalore bashing. If you don't like us, don't come. Build your own city instead. Choose state governments that prioritize governance and innovation over religion. You ruin your own place, come to ours, and complain about the traffic and our language. Without you- there is no traffic. And without you, there is no fighting about language. Folks from Andhra, TN, and Kerala have been coming to Bangalore for decades and never had a language issue. Entire communities of Marwaris from Rajasthan have stayed here for decades and caused no problems. Anglo-Indians have been living here for decades and have had no trouble. All of them simply aim to conduct their business, maintain a friendly and accommodating demeanor, and proceed forward. Hindi folks want to shout and argue with us , fight with poor people who have only learned Kannada all their lives—your auto drivers, your hotel servers, delivery men, etc.—and then complain about us. Why? Stay home. You all come here and start complaining immediately. Stay in your smog-infested Delhi that you've ruined. Stay in your hyperexpensive Mumbai in a 1 BHK that might as well be a closet. It's odd to think a city should just be there for you, and you don't have to help build it. Build your own city.

A new large transaction leadership team is coming on board it seems. Strong steps towards strengthening the vc pe deals practice as they recently did by doubling up on B&F and Real Estate one. Hired a big senior team there as well. Trying to catch up with their monopolistic funds practice by beefing up other practice areas.

Hey Guys.

Hey there! I’m a third-year student at a Tier 2 National Law University, and I’m keen on doing an in-house internship. I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to do it in the middle of my third year or at the start of my fourth year. I’d love some suggestions for good in-house places and tips on how to apply. I’ve tried reaching out to a few places, but I haven’t received any responses yet. I’ve sent emails to their HR, contact and career@xyz email.

Before this, I had a prior internship at a Tier 2 TMT Firm, a Tier 3 Dispute Resolution (which I did twice), and a basic court internship right at the beginning of law school. I also participated in a prestigious moot, although I didn’t manage to finish in a top position.

Hoping for some positive advice guys !

This has been called out before. You are not saying anything either original or interesting. Please do not waste peoples' time, unfortunately most people have enough humanity left to still presume others have something interesting to say until and unless it has been proven otherwise. Please do not abuse that presumption.

If you had had even one drop of basic human decency in you, you would never have used your privilege in this way. You'd have either chosen to do something other than law, or done something to help people who were either first generation lawyers or, perhaps even more significantly, those who were the first in their families to attend university.

"What's wrong in it?" I'll tell you. Most nepo kids don't have any level of self awareness or ability to reflect. That's what. Therefore, any possible good they could have done to our society by virtue of being a nepo kid is totally not done.

I am interested in being a professor, and want to teach and research. However, I also want to experience going abroad. Is it possible to go abroad without a masters or PhD from abroad? Is it possible to do a postdoc from abroad and settle there ? Does 10 plus years in academia give the pedigree to move abroad ?

As someone who was in HNLU, all of my batchmates got into MNLU but didn't go. MNLU-M is good only for those kids who want the comfortable city life by the beach.

Raipur has never proved to be disadvantageous for any of the 20+ tier 1 law firm partners, why should it be for anyone? It's well connected, safe, clean and has all the amenities of a capital city.

There is no contact building happening at MNLU-M for sure, at my t-1 office no one even knows what MNLU is but everyone knows what HNLU is

Go back to studying for your end sems, there is no respect for MNLU in the professional market - take it from a veteran

As someone who is in MNLUM, half of my batchmates were in HNLU, RML and NLUO before upgrading to MNLUM. The sheet exposure through the location advantage is real. Its better to come to mumbai any day rather than going to a dump like Raipur. Agreed, there is no Alumni base, but trust me, the advantages of having contact building opportunities in MNLUM are much more than HNLU. Other MNLUs suck as seen from rank openers for their batches but my batch opens at 371 and ends at 475, each student here can attest that other than GNLU none of them would have moved. Lastly, placements for our college through PPOs and on campus are so much better than HNLU its not even funny, not trolling them or anything they try with what limited resources they have but they cannot match MNLUM atleast.

I am someone who got into a T1 law school this year, but let me be very straight and to the point- the only thing I can do is study, crack exams, be smart on paper. I've absolutely 0 people skills . Atp I'm not even eyeing litigation, but even a corporate job for law seems difficult for a person like me, who's generally, well, not liked, per se. Moreover, I came across this post very recent- [https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/368279-legal-industry-is-a-fuckall-profession-a-rant#comment-368279] , and I am not looking at it in an isolated manner, in the past few days I have seen many such examples. I'm doubting whether only meritocracy will lead me anywhere substantial. So, should I quit? And perhaps look for something like tech or finance?

Please don't advise me to put myself out there and socialize, I've tried that for 12 years of my school life, peers made a display of liking because I was the top performer, only teachers were genuinely kind to me. I don't think I can change things substantially within a few months.

I'm at the verge and an honest insight can really save me right now. Seniors please help this soul. And please be nice, I'm only 17, please.
