Can't comment on the political ideologies of Shishir or Pallavi, but some years ago Shishir had got into a war of words with the UP police, over a tweet concerning Yogi. See these links.

Also, liberal content gets more engagement.
Also, they will downplay stories of civil liberties violations in non-BJP states. The X accounts of their correspondents are also openly left-wing, tweeting and retweeting in favour of the opposition and against the BJP.
What's happening? Change in management? Instructions from funders?
Get a life, fan boy. Otherwise, get into investment banking or private equity.
The dilemma arises here - I can either take up a job at a boutique or t3 for a while and switch over to BAZ, or (I've recently found out that I have a strong contact at BAZ) I can join another office of the firm. I got offered the job through the contact but I said I'd have to think about it.
The pros are very evident, but the cons for me are that I'll probably always have imposter syndrome, and it won't feel right to me to get the job this way. But then again who plays fair in the corp world, and I know this is probably a decent start for my career as well.
Just wanted to know your thoughts because I have to let the contact know ASAP.
Thanks!
Mods please mod fast thank you.
This may sound silly but I would really appreciate if you could recommend bags for law schools ( totes, messengers, bag packs). I have a laptop and a tablet to carry.. also since I am an incoming student I don’t know what books/ resources we have to carry on a daily basis - so anything which accommodates them w/o being bulky.

iPad + keypad can only be your second screen and would be a luxury.

Again, second hand news, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Would really encourage you to do some research before joining.
As with most growing law firms, timelines are hard, work is harder, and burnouts happen more often than not. However, with the right partner, and the right team, this could be counteracted by just being open to wanting a break.
As to the cult culture, there are sessions that take place in KLA that feel like a seminar led by Jordan Peterson. However, take these with a grain of salt if you don’t agree, and live by the principles of you do. You usually get an all expenses paid trip out of it.
Pay, it differs. They look at previous experience, and your previous pay as opposed to a band system. I think I was paid pretty decently at an A2 level.
On culture, some SAs are more approachable while some aren’t. I’ve had an experience with a Delhi based SA, who I couldn’t stand (not naming anyone here). AC and AB are gems. Going out of their way to help you. You will have some instances where they come off as hard to deal with, but that generally stems out of a screw up.
All in all, I liked the place. Great place to learn, decent place to get paid, bad place if you’re looking for work-life balance.
So pick your priority if you plan on joining.
Hope this helped.

Are MBA people placed in a different hostel, or is it shared with Law people?
If it's shared, are the floors different, or that too is shared?
And lastly, do MBA people get single rooms, or do they share as well?
TIA
