Look forward to hearing from Partners (all kinds, all firms, all Tiers) including any interesting anecdotes / memorable meetings. Anything that you can share. Of course, no need to give up your trade secrets ;)
Someone (another Partner, although seasoned) recently told me an interesting (but very simple) hand shake technique. So I thought of doing this thread.
Now, coming to work culture, it’s 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.
Second, I will suggest you to speak with the partner you have worked the most (even if its indirectly).
Third, be ready for them to give lot of gyaan (mostly its self serving and occasionally can also be true).
Fourth, don't rush to get last date especially when the first time you are informing about the decision. I am sure you must have some deadline in your head or pressure from the new place that you are planning to join, but give your existing firm a day or so before you can start discussing your last day.
"Why should I be singled out" - because YOU are applying for the visa, the US is not asking you to come. You need the US, the US does not need you. Secondly, whataboutism is a very weak argument when one breaks the law.
Now that the consolidated figure [24] is out, looks tough for Indus...
What's happening in there? Insiders do spill for the greater good. Also what happens to the fate of PPO holders - is that team-specific?
Took some painfully regrettable decisions pre ADHD diagnosis that sort of derailed my legal career. Took some time off, regrouped and now on a better trajectory in terms of mental health. I want to make the most of lost time and opportunities and I am committed to working incredibly hard. Please don’t doubt me.
Ever since my medication, I am doing so much better in terms of emotional regulation and other mental health issues and can handle stress in limited quantities as I have some other health issues.
I’ve moved to Hyderabad and I am thinking of getting into Litigation. I am not very keen on pursuing Family Law, but considering my limitations, I will have to pursue that stream for now. I also love Tech/AI/Data Privacy.
I am just a bundle of nerves as this is my only chance at life. Money is not the priority but I need to slowly build a regular income stream. Please share some thoughts/ insights/ anything that can help me in my journey.

I saw there post for capital markets team associate position. Any idea for salary
Does this mean there’s attrition in all teams under SKP and AB?

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?
Also, if yes, then how to get postings there?

“As far as Kashmir is concerned, once the Supreme Court has decided to accept the solicitor general’s 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,” he said.
“In 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,” the senior lawyer said.
