1. A successful woman partner in a law firm sank into depression and alcoholism because she couldnโt get married. She only wanted someone who was her financial and intellectual equal, but such guys were taken. So she waited and waited until it was too late.
2. Another such person was divorced and childless. Her husband dumped her for someone younger and more attractive. She was hugely successful, but very depressed for lack of companionship and family. She eventually chose to adopt a child and raise the child as a single mom.
3. Another lady adopted cats and her life revolves around them.
Please donโt dismiss the womanly need for child-rearing and companionship because of what you come across in feminist textbooks and TikTok reels.

And no, this is nowhere close to being the "biggest ever" endowment for an Indian university. That's irrational exuberance.
The big firm may have better long-term opportunities and name value, but the working hours are 10 to 11 hours a day. On top of that, I have a 2-hour one-way commute, so Iโd be out for around 14 to 15 hours daily.
The boutique firm is less known but has a 10 to 6 schedule. Same commute, but overall it feels more manageable and healthier.
Iโm seriously considering the smaller firm for better work-life balance, but Iโm worried I might be making a mistake early in my career.
Suggestions please

Step 2: get insurance (you will end up paying significantly more premium if you delay it)
Step 3: Divide your savings in two halves: 50 percent goes in equities (mutual funds + direct investing) and the other 50 percent in debt. Keep your eye on a few stocks (get professional advice as well) and double down on those stocks when the market crashes by taking out some of the funds from your debt portfolio.

But ten years of being in academia not one person has asked me who my parents were or what my caste is or anything like that. This aspect of the profession is more open to first generation folks than any other.
