We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

P.S. I make 20L+ a month.
And as it happens, I completely agree with you - full disclosure, I am a student in England. There is enough talk in western societies of people being deceived about the benefits of immigration. Trust me, they literally don't want you - nobody, British or Americans, left/liberal or right/conservative. In their eyes, the net immigration statistics are out of control and they have royally fucked themselves. They would view taking another loudmouth social media activist as more fucking of themselves. A portion of their political class (and their population) literally believe that taking in people like the OP is making their borders less secure. Trust me, I have had four years to observe this phenomenon. Do with what I have said as you will. Downvoters, bring your web bots to do their worst; mods who prefer mealy-mouthed euphemisms over harsh expressions of reality, block this post from publication and live in your contrived bliss, but that doesn't take away from the facts.
2. Remember what somebody else has pointed out, those are Americans, you are a foreigner. You are asking to go to their country.
3. Please do not leave that box blank. Overall, better to disclose. The last thing you want them saying is that they rejected your application because you withheld relevant information.
Is the thought of judiciary being fulfilling too idealistic? Does one simply do judiciary because it was their best shot or offered the most comfortable life or is it something more than that, rather something sacrificial in nature?
Is that what we've become? Robotic cogs ensuring that our selfish desires are fulfilled even if we've a position to possibly be the change?
Or even the discussion itself is pointless and it is just as another position and you're merely obligated to get your job done? Just a thought, what does the community think?
βAs far as Kashmir is concerned, once the Supreme Court has decided to accept the solicitor generalβs statement that it will be reverted to full statehood, this question cannot apply. It was conceded that the conversion of a state to a Union Territory is impermissible, and so Kashmir cannot be likened to Puducherry,β he said.
βIn any event, it is about time that this kind of political interference by the Centre with the functioning of elected governments is given a proper burial. We have seen how administration in Delhi and Puducherry has come to a standstill, seriously affecting the rights of citizens,β the senior lawyer said.

Now, coming to work culture, itβs difficult. Being in CAM, his team will definitely get good pay (and not discriminatory pay like SP). But, work culture may become challenging given the pressure and cut throat competition at CAM.
Then when I finally got two offers, and I accepted one from a firm that many would call the most toxic Indian law firm today, particularly two months in, I realised that I should have just enjoyed the time off after graduating and before (eventually) working.
Your take away - You will definitely find something, donβt fret. Enjoy the downtime because once you start working, you wonβt find much time to yourself.
I hope your candidate was as good at work as you are at lying.

The work itself can be different from the practice of law in terms of structure and creativity. It also differs immensely based on the nature of organisation one works at - a law firm versus a think tank versus in-house. Broadly all of them cover the above stated areas, but the time each kind of organisation spends on them differs.
Hope this helps!
Now, Iβve started as a trainee at a boutique law firm in their corporate advisory team (earning 18k/month which could hardly cover my expenses as I am not from around here), but I want to move to a Tier 1 or Tier 2 law firm. What can be my roadmap?
Iβm ready to work hard, I know it sounds cliche, but I really mean it.
