Hi, I am capital markets trained lawyer looking for an exit opportunity outside of law firms, however, I realise that my horizon is now limited since all I have been doing for the last three years is very niche. I would love to get some advice, nudge or prospects or any thing at all from you guys. Thanks

The supporter of IIULER Goa came here as well! By the way, who enquired about IIULER Goa here? How can you be "proud" to study at IIULER?

1) Without Library Facilities?

2) Without any E-Database/Remote Access?

3) Only with 6 Law Faculties?

4) Without knowing any whereabouts of 2022 and 2023 LL.M. Batches? (Why IIULER even in their website did not mention anything regarding them?)

5) Please provide some statement to show how can you be "proud" in being IIULER Goa

I dislike the rebrand as I am not a fan of woke aesthetics, but I also think it makes no sense from a commercial perspective. The demographic that the ad targets is either relatively small (non-binary people) or too poor to afford a Jag (left-leaning Gen Z college students). Jag's main buyers are likely to be straight men in their early 40s upwards, working in right-leaning professions like engineering, baking, corporate law etc.

Couldn't agree more. As an Indian and Ratan Tata fan, I am saddened and ashamed by this woke nonsense. The Aussies are having a field time trashing Jaguar https://youtu.be/4ocC4GJ_9Z4

Project Finance is quite niche, more complex and growing in India. Won't advice freshers to get into this at the start of their careers. It is a niche within B&F which can always be carved after hitting a fair degree of seniority (6-7 PQE) at a pureplay B&F team for better revenue opportunities.

Exactly! An even better question to ask might be, "Why are you posting on LI about this at all?". Post on LinkedIn, tag the NUJS account, embarrass the admin enough that they would want a yawning gap to open in the ground and swallow them, and have done with it! Your content is good, but it is much better as public, open and transparent criticism of NUJS admin than as an anonymous rant.

I personally know A3s and A4s who make well over 8-12 lakhs with their bill share annually. Granted their fixed is on the lower side, i.e. 17-19 lakhs but with all the components included (fixed + bonus + bill share) JSA can match or exceed any T1 with a tad better working conditions and professional management.

With the bonus component of 4-5 lakhs, a decent A3/A4 can make anywhere between 28-34 lakhs which is as good as any T1 firm. However, this is for solid banking, corporate, cap marks team. I am aware it can be much lower for other teams.

13L for a fresher is cap, that’s literally what A0s got only when JSA went for day 0 in 2023. People who got PPOs in the same year and thereafter got much lesser than 13L. JSA only paid that much to compete with other tier 1s during day 0 in colleges to save face. The rest is fair, although bonus is a max of 3L and you usually won’t get that much, it’s more like you can expect 1.25 to 2.25L. Bill share is also a variable factor that’s contingent on invoices actually being cleared and your hours actually being invoiced.

Same is the case with HNLU, it has doubled its placement in the last two years than what it was 4 years back. And really MNLU Mumbai is still sought to be considered to be up and coming by people after all the years of its stagnation under the false garb of it being "recently" established?

Mataji, some of us are struggling to ensure our immigration statuses in western societies are secure enough that we can keep staying long enough to apply for PR/ILR/Green Card and subsequently citizenship. And this is the biggest anxiety for you? Seriously? You have got your U.S. citizenship, just enjoy life now please! Especially considering the responses you have now received!

Hi, currently in law school, interested in the TMT and would want to work in this space in future. Do you all know of any india-specific blogs where I can publish? I've tried hard looking for privacy blogs but couldn't really find anything that specialises in it. Nothing much in tech either, apart from maybe IJLT.

Why is it unacceptable for white people to use the n word to describe/talk about/refer to a black person, whereas it is acceptable for a black person to use that word about another black person? Please think about this and reflect how this same concept might apply in contexts other than race. You are supposed to be able to do this (thinking critically) as a lawyer, but your comment shows you to have done a very poor job of it in this case. Is this why you are in a law firm? Mediocre to less than average academically, so you became a glorified paperpusher?

My poor guy, please do some reading (of university websites) first! If by "score of 50" you mean 50%, then seriously, you have a problem. The key requirement of UK law schools (even the ones who have LNAT as a requirement) is a very good board exam result both at the 10th and in the 12th. So please either give UK up as a pipe dream, or put your head down, work your buts off and get a 45/45 to compensate for your 10th board grades; as a further word to the wise, being an IB survivor myself, after you have finished reading the responses to your question on this forum, stay the fuck away from Legally India over the next two years, IB requires you to give everything you have, in order to be successful, and this website, like all social media platforms, is addictive. Also, even that 45/45 may not be enough as compensation for UK purposes for your 10th grades. Barristers' chambers (for pupillage applications) and law firms (for training contracts) will ask you to disclose your school marks of the 10th and 12th grade. They will ask you why you did so badly in the 10th. So unless you have very compelling extenuating circumstances re your 10th boards, things in a UK context likely won't work out for you.

I know this sounds like brutal advice, and am happy to explain stuff further to you. If you are sincere (and not a troll (some people believe getting into UK law schools is easy as a drop of a hat, and your supposed history of 50% board marks might be trollbait)), please drop a burner email as a response, and I'll be happy to chat to you about this.

Regards,

Bhai I have numerous friends who are in T-1. Not a single associate of their firms is from GLC. Keep living in delusion if you believe tier 1 firms even hire GLC grads. Only in Mumbai because of daddy's connections some get jobs in tier 2 and tier 3 firms. Also try giving some placement records instead of spamming anecdotal claims.
