Capital market is the least money making team in every law firm. They can hardly meet their own costs. ▮▮▮
That should tell you enough about the work quality and money coming in
Not really, because Mumbai pay and bonuses is also better on average.
You can be paying same rent in Mumbai and NCR / Bangalore, it's just you'll be living further from office and that's a struggle.
According to Harvard's records, between 500 and 800 Indian students and scholars are enrolled each year across its various schools and departments. As of the latest count, 788 Indian students are currently studying at Harvard, most in graduate-level programmes. With the Trump administration's action, these students must now transfer to another SEVP-certified institution if they intend to remain legally in the United States. Failure to do so could result in visa revocation and potential deportation.

Try for HNLU, only advice left for you at this stage
As I explained to you in my April letter, it is a privilege to enroll foreign students, and it is also a privilege to employ aliens on campus. All universities must comply with Department of Homeland Security requirements, including reporting requirements under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program regulations, to maintain this privilege. As a result of your refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies, and employs racist "diversity, equity, and inclusion" policies, you have lost this
privilege."

How is that even possible? Aren't like 80% MP lawyers?
And all this? Without having to bother about your nepo kid ass or privilege. You know why? I attended a genuinely good law school (a true NLU) and never let your type hold me back. I hope that, despite this being the verbal equivalent of crushing your nuts with a drop-kick, it will be published.

The concept of people getting into university teaching prior to a PhD and doing a PhD as a sort of top-up degree for promotion purposes is not the way it works outside India. They don't have no UGCNET etc. The PhD is the basic degree you need to even get started on the academic ladder. In other words, a PhD is an essential requirement for full time academic positions with the scope for promotion, even very juniour ones. Therefore, unless you are ready to put in the years of study required to get both an LLM and a PhD, your ambitions would be very hard to fulfil. True, in markets like the UK, you would still find some professors with extremely good research track records without PhDs. But if you take the extra second to notice things about them other than the fact that they haven't gotten a PhD, you will notice something else: that they are usually old enough that they would have entered the academic market in the 1970's or 80's, when academic recruitment in the UK without a doctorate was possible. It is so vanishingly rare now - speaking from personal experience, as one working to get into the UK academic market - that you should pretty much treat it as impossible.
My advice would be to treat Singapore and the U.S. in the same way. Let's just say that Singapore is likely, because of the ranking of its unis, to operate in a way similar to the British. As for the U.S.? We can begin by chuckling gently at the mere thought of any sort of relaxation of standards there. They are extraordinarily insular as it is. The UK/Singapore concept of being able to get into their academic market with a foreign qualifying law degree and U.S. postgraduate law degrees is, in any case, not there. You tend to need an American JD anyway for that (there might be a few people who got in without a JD, but those are exceptions that prove the rule). Usually, American law professors have a PhD in a non-law subject (e.g., philosophy), followed by a JD.

If you cleared the SSB, you gotta be special- which all our armed forces offers are. The guy I talk about was nice and just sweet in general when I was interning. Plays quite a few sports well, was cute, smart, and seemed to be good at his work too.
Anyway, do end up trying for it, but know clearing the CDS is nothing, if you can’t clear the SSB and be medically fit…
Can someone guide me on the following?
1. What are the smartest ways to invest and manage income as a new TI law firm associate.
2. How to plan my taxes efficiently to maximize savings and long term benefits.
What should I prepare, I'm a recent graduate with experience in IP firms so need y'all advice on the same.
Legally India mods and owners, you encourage laziness, lack of rigour, sloppy practice and general messing around by publishing such threads. Next time somebody asks a question like this where the answer is available if only a little bit of research is done, and where clearly they are wanting to be spoonfed, please do not publish the thread. You claim that you want people to think by reading LI content. Surely that precludes the practice of spoonfeeding?
The one extra piece of unsolicited advise I will give you is to have extremely thick skin and look at the substance of the criticism and how it relates to your work. If it is all personal (which it can be) then ignore it and if it has an element of critique about your work focus on just that. Eventually seeing someone unflappable under pressure is what will make your reputation for you. Another thing is that AZB'ites tend to be nicer to you after you have spent a few (about 6) years in the firm since you are then an insider. Once you become an insider you should have more occasional reprimands (mostly around appraisal time).
I will also encourage you to not carry that culture through to the people you work with since most associates get carried away and take pride in emulating those that were most severe on them. Differentiating yourself and endearing yourself to many at the firm will make your rise faster.
