By that standard, half the partnership would need to resign. I should resign too.
The only thing making me hesitate is that the partner has decent goodwill, so I wonder if staying 6-12 months could be valuable although the thought of it makes me wanna cry, no ones toxic but I'm just done. Please lmk if anyone else also experienced this, it sounds dumb but it's been pretty problematic for me. The founder was a partner at a good sized firm before starting this but it feels like its a sole proprietorship rather than a law firm given the micromanagement and how ppl act
Also how can I switch asap, lateral hire or something to a better place? I cannot find any opening in that area of commercial disputes. this place is lowest ive been compared to my internships
Alongside my litigation practice, I am looking to undertake freelance legal assignments, remote consultancy, or research project work. Any suggestion?
also what is up with links?

It’s a pretty sad state of affairs, and students also need to take some responsibility for the lack of pressure and discussion around placements. If the reports about Day Zero outreach are true, it’s even more concerning. This really seems like a collective failure of the students, alumni, administration and placement machinery.
The Trilegal team is wayyy better and Kunal’s team is the place to be if you want to be part of the best investigations in the country currently. 💵💵💰
Bottom line: if you are a general category person who is not EWS, you shouldn’t really be in a government institute with heavily subsidized fees. You should head to a private institute charging market rates, or go abroad. On this point, I am willing to support 0% reservation in private institutes.
Such a system will be fair to all. And it’s not that private institutes place you at a disadvantage. Jindal gets just as many law firm offers as a good NLU. And, of course, studying abroad gives you tons of opportunities.
Not the former
Which firm one should opt for:
1. Pay scale (including how often bonus is paid out full)
2. Work life balance
3. Learning curve
4. Foreign prospects
5. Life bearable status
6. Other perks apart from pay
Also give reasons as to why?
