Merely a two-way Uber to office everyday will be between Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 a month. A simple meal of a pizza and Coke once a week will be Rs 1,000 a week. And prices of basic food items have hit the roof. Add internet and Netflix costs, shoes, clothes, etc.

Feel free to verify from any judge in DJS that you know.
Else - do the math from public sources. The salary index of judicial officers after SNJPC is publicly available. The rates of DA and HRA are also public, and so are all the allowances that come with the SNJPC like petrol, transport, orderly, tech, etc. The income tax math is harder to do, but if you don't trust my source or don't know a judge yourself, you can reach an approximate amount from the public sources.
1. Your ACR (Should be atleast 'O')
2. Your age (Should be between 56 -59)
3. Seniority Order
If these satisfied then wherever you're posted (means in any states JS) you can make upto PDJ to the Justice of HC to SC
1. 1. The Scope and Future: How is competition law evolving in India? Is it a field with substantial growth opportunities, or is it likely to remain a niche area?
2. 2. Top Players: Which law firms and teams are the best to work with in this domain?
3. 3. Key Practitioners: Who are the leading competition lawyers in India today?
4. 4. Compensation and Growth: How does the remuneration compare to other legal fields? Is the money scene lucrative enough to justify the narrow specialization?
5. 5. Suitability: What kind of lawyer thrives in competition law? Conversely, who might find it unsuitable?
Given how specialized this field is, it seems like a one-way road once you commit. Is it worth diving into for someone considering long-term prospects?
Looking forward to your thoughts and guidance!
I want to make a career in Corporate and M&A but I am not getting such opportunity and need to look after my expenses on my own hence joining the NBFC (I know that I am deviating from my preferred practice area)
Will I be able to make my way back to a law firm in any team with that experience of NBFC?
Please consider replying to this thread with any suggestions or criticism I would really appreciate it.
This comment is so out of touch from reality. Till date, only a handful (single digits) people have left DJS and they are doing well because they were in DJS.
If you want government job for "naukar chakar" and "gaadi aur driver" - you can see HJS and RJS. Though officers from HJS and RJS leave those states to join DJS because delhi is delhi.
DJS is worth it if - you are are satisfied with a decent salary, good reputation in society (everyone looks up to you in your circle, neighbourhood, family), the usual government job perks (good leave policy, multiple allowances and unlimited healthcare for yourself and your family (this is a huge deal - will never have to pay a single rupee no matter what), and most importantly and also most underrated, the feeling of contributing to public.
Could someone help me out with that. It would be of great help.
Thank You
If the law firms don't milk you they can't make the insane profits that they do. You are a replaceable resource.
That said there will be a few rare exceptions and finding them and getting into such teams is extremely tough as they'll have very low attrition.
One of the reasons I feel bad is that absolute low rankers in my batch are today earning more than me because they chose corp law.
Any other information related to rejection would be appreciated.
If you are in good terms with the partner then obviously your chances are fairly higher compared to the ones applying on Portal daily..
It'll really help me cut commute and stay with family
if you really want to do law, you can do that after a good economics degree from a good college. Infact, i would say that you will be able to get more out of your legal education with an economics UG.
i have worked as legal counsel at a tech firm for over a year, however, to get more exposure early in my career I am willing to switch to Law firm. My work now mostly revolves around gen corp area, I wish to explore PE/VC/M&A areas or any of them. I am finding it difficult to switch. Would it be worth to not care about the pay and join a firm as a trainee or just continue as inhouse?
Why I though of this is get more exposure early on and then get a better pay as I progress in law firm. Can you guide please?
Need to take a call carefully because it'll be a costly investment.
