Go on. This particular dick measuring contest is just as unhelpful, as unproductive and as harmful to community understanding as all dick measuring contests, but it is certainly more entertaining than most. So yes, go on and try your game of one-upmanship to apply a cream on your insecurity that your profession is less worthy than that of engineers. Do all this when everyone knows that both professions require people of high intellectual strength, and that each is as good (or as bad) at rewarding its workers for their efforts as the other.

You are missing the context here. You are comparing apples to oranges.

That Fintech engineer with 8PQE mostly has good to decent WLB. He/She will be having a family. IT/Tech is better in terms of WLB - weekends, logging off times, of course compared to any Law firms because of Western Culture. Is that possible in a tier 1 law firm? No.

With a tier 1 law firm job, it's practically impossible to raise a fully functional family. Most of 8QE (especially women) are unmarried, doesn't have kids or have a dysfunctional/on verge of divorce family life. Wheras in IT/Tech people can properly raise a family with that job.

It's better to compare the Tech guys salary to an in house lawyers salary. Because the level of stress and hours are similar.

Tier 1 law firm lifestyle is not sustainable in the long term. Even if you don't have a family, it's still hard to work at a tier 1 firm. It's highly stressful and intensive.

Hi, are you a working professional? Also please tell me are the timings strict for the course because as a working professional sometimes it is hard to attend the lectures regularly or at the specific timing given by the course operator. Share your experience about the course as well.

Seeming logical gap here! Don't you think? How can you have associates being overworked, while still, at the same time, having "disproportionate team size"? Aren't the two sort of mutually exclusive?

I promise I'm not trying to be smart. Just need better education on law firm dynamics. So if there is a way that both these can be true, please explain it to me (as if I were five years old).

I heard bharat calls the shots and does all the hiring and hes like super picky! saw the linkedin of the 2024 joinees and both were like toppers n had awards n stuff, idk man my batch rank aint great so i dont think I stand a chance tbh. but reading this ngl feels like its better to not even join

"I noticed that certain developments have taken place in the field which will necessarily require further revisions before its review and publications. In that regard, I would kindly request you stop the review process for my paper. I shall get back after incorporating the changes." then never send a revised paper. They will also stop following up after a while.

NMIMS 5 th year student, it's absolutely trash, no flexibility for interning, no attendance relaxation, you'll have a billion submissions for no reason, do not ever go to NMIMS, I was is SLS Pune but switched to NMIMS since course fee was 10l and I didn't have to pay rent, worst mistake of my life

Here are a few questions you might wish to consider if you're going abroad (from someone who studied law at the undergraduate level overseas):

1. For abroad (in case you're thinking of UK and Australia, in particular). What are your school marks (10th and 12th) like? Are they at least above 90% of ICSE or CBSE?

2. Again, this question is based on the assumption of you thinking about abroad. How good was your relationship with your 11th and 12th schoolteachers? You will need a letter of recommendation from a teacher in 11th and 12th for an application to study law at a UK uni.

3. Did you take the LNAT for Jindal? If so, what were your marks on the LNAT? UK unis aren't like Jindal, where they will take any old fart that shows up. The ones that use LNAT as part of their admission processes (Oxford, Cambridge, King's, LSE, UCL, Bristol) have typical score ranges on their websites for what marks people typically achieve on the reading section of the LNAT.

There's another dcet to it. So called nepo kids get a very early exposure. Like Marearis discuss dhandha at their breakfst table, a class 10 marwari stident would generallly know a lot about dhandha. Similarly, a 3rd gen lawyer would know a lot about nitty gritties of law before the law school.

There was a private member bill in 2022 which dealt with this matter

(https://sansad.in/getFile/BillsTexts/RSBillTexts/Asintroduced/Hate%20speech-%20KR-%20E%201219202350136PM.pdf?source=legislation) in case anyone is interested in the full text

One of the key features of this bill is that it seems to have a wide variety of beneficiaries. Here's an excerpt from the bill

(3. A person who intentionally and within the hearing or sight of another person or

group of persons uses, publishes, presents, produces, plays, provides, distributes or

directs the performance of any speech that:—

(i) incites, justifies, promotes or spreads discrimination, hatred, hostility, or

violence against a person or group of persons; or

(ii) denigrates a person or group of persons by reasons of their real or

attributed characteristics or status, which includes religion, race, caste or

community, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, place of birth, national or

ethnic origin, language, age, or disability shall be guilty of an offence of hate

speech.)

This is the definition of the offence of hate speech in this bill , is it likely to pass the constitutionality test ? , is it good legislation ? And finally how likely is this to even pass ? Private member bills usually get sidestepped , this bill hasn't lapsed yet and has been pending for a while now. I've always found it frustrating how private member bills are essentially useless and irrelevant even though they cover many issues that government doesn't draft bills on (there's bills on universal Healthcare and dealing with extreme poverty that were drafted by private members)

Agree with this dude?

1. It's a "training contract", not "trainee contract". Get the detail right, please.

2. Training contract offers do not come via contacts. They only come via assessment of candidate's performance at the vacation scheme.

3. I am familiar with these processes myself, having been through them. Any contacts you have can only help you to a limited extent. At most, if you know a lawyer at a foreign firm and have discussed the work they do in a practice area, it might be worth mentioning that in your application. No more. If they don't like your interview, assessment centre or (where applicable) SJT performance, no amount of glowing reviews from contacts can get you over the line. Whoever may have told you otherwise is bullshitting.

A caveat to this last point: Getting a contact you may have at a firm to look over your application or mock interview you and provide you with feedback is an obvious advantage.

My girlfriend works in police and we've dated since school, I'm an A3 at a T1 rn and currently my work hours don't allow me to sustain our relationship as I see things. What's something lawyers previous to me have done? An in house shift seems definite but is there some other option?

Negative returns on MFs and stocks.

GST on everything.

High income tax.

Rising educate costs for children.

This is the story for all white collar professionals in India. It seems only the super rich and super corrupt have it easy. So do we then have to keep on working till 60/70, to fund MP salaries, subsidies and loss-making PSUs?

Literally everything is a culture war now. The reason pickleball gets hate from Gen Z is because:

- Oldies play it (the anti-woke generation that dumps on Gen Z all day long)

- This generation has made pickleball elitist by playing in posh clubs and gated communities, and also making retailers sell cheap-ass plastic equipment for high prices (Gen Z hates elitism)

- Pickleball is played by old tennis legends who Gen Z doesn't know about and can't relate to, like Agassi, Steffi Graf, Roddick etc.

As for the Olympics, they will include pickleball because the purchasing power and influence of Gen X and Gen Y are higher than Gen Z (on a per-capita basis at least). We had a new Gen Z sport in the Paris Olympics (breaking). Turned out to be a big flop.

Well, As a law graduate from Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi, with nearly 8 years of experience in the Legal Department of PSU, I’ve gained a fair perspective on what this career path offers and what it doesn’t.

A PSU legal role is not for those who are highly ambitious, aggressively career-driven, or ready to face the heat of litigation or the high-pressure environment of a tier-1 or tier-2 law firm.

However, for someone from a middle-class background with a practical outlook, the ability to adjust, and a willingness to let go of ego, it can offer a stable and respectable career.

Pros:

1. Decent and stable salary with timely increments and allowances.
2. Low to moderate workload, allowing for a better work-life balance.
3. Job security and structured working hours.
4. Sustainable work environment where an average performer can survive comfortably.

Cons:

1. Slower career progression compared to core technical or managerial staff.
2. Limited role in decision-making, mostly restricted to advisory functions.
3. Lack of recognition within the organization’s hierarchy.
4. Stagnation risk if one doesn’t actively seek growth beyond routine work.
