Although I haven't given up on my job search in Europe, I do need a job immediately. I've started applying in India, and I would prefer working in Mumbai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad. I'm looking for a job where my LLM will prove to be useful, which would be tech law or data protection. I'm looking at law firms with good TMT practice teams, although I would ideally prefer working in-house for either a big company or firm like one of the Big 4 (Deloitte, EY, etc.) or a tech start up dealing with the DPDPA.
Please let me know how I can start to build a career in data protection and what approach I should take in terms of building my CV, applying for roles, which law firms I can apply to for TMT, getting certified (e.g. CIPP) or making connections, especially if I have such a big work gap in my CV and I've been away from India for so long. For context, I have about 4+ PQE of experience. I've worked mostly in litigation and with NBFCs, and I've found it really hard to make the transition to corporate, compliance or tech law. I haven't had a proper full time job in over 3 years. I have no interest in returning to litigation.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you. Have a nice day!
I had expirence of weight loss while I was in class 11th and 12th it was 30 kg in 9 months .My weight fell form 100kg to 70kg after my crush called me football
so my advice is :
A) do anything that force your heart to beat faster like walking using stair or swimming pool . If possible get a treadmill
B) I know you guys dosent have the time to do physical activity but atleast control your dam diet .On average human body burn 1700 calories just to maintain itself eating less will create a deficit.
C) Buy a weighting machine and install any weight tracking app it . Track your weight in morning after you used bathroom. It will create a sense of achievement
D)Track your calories . Every bit form roti to pani puri to anything that have enegry
E) Try to create a deficit atleat of 650 calories per day.
F) if want to munch try to carrot or my personal choice bottle of soda with black paper it helped alot with constant munching habit I developed that time
G) Last and final important advice dont follow strict routine make it dynamic and simple .
H) Get a good watch. My personal favorite is Samsung watch 7 ,
At time of weight loss it was samsung watch 4
My personal advice on some days you will have to eat outside if happens fast the whole next day or try to burn it of by workout (walking, swimming, jogging)
You can ask me question.
Also, I would like to build a portfolio of commercial litigation and arbitration portfolio, since it seems like no tier 1 firm even in Mumbai or Delhi specialises solely in arbitration. Does any Bangalore firm or practice align with this?
I am just about to be promoted to SA (hopefully no surprises there) and this post made me feel like an AI description of my partner's habit. I am more scared than excited about my prospects here.
I think another aspect you can write is the absence of mid management (there are no counsels, other SAs in the team) and I think that's a gigantic red flag as well.
Is this team still hiring for BO2026? My peers told me they hired late for previous batches typically, but hired very early for our batch? Any guidance would be appreciated
(a) laterally move to another tier-1/2 law firm in TMT; or
(b) move to corporate/M&A/PE/VC.
How do I do (a) when I do not have insights into whether such firms are hiring for TMT? Who do I reach out to? Don't say recruiters please, as they BARELY post TMT hirings.
If I were to shift from TMT to corporate, how do I do it? What do I have to do to convince the firm that I can do corporate work?
Please help me out, I really need the guidance!!
Also what’s the increment structure like based on the ratings? It seems pretty opaque and shady
Mods, again: PLEASE BUMP
Show me one human being who doesn’t have a sex , or who produces some third gamete- a spegg- intersex people aren’t “between the two sexes”. Intersex people have differences of sex development that means at some point their sexual development halted or got interrupted/ that doesn’t make them a third sex. A ma with a micropenis isn’t less of a man and a woman with hirsuitism isn’t less of a woman.most intersex conditions are sexed conditions- meaning they only happen to one set of people - either male people or female people. So saying someone is intersex is basically saying they’re a male person or a female person with a condition.
In any case most trans identified people don’t have any DSDs. Human beings can’t change sex by proclamation alone. It’s not magic and we’re not gods- we’re beasts like every other animal on this planet.
Public Healthcare in general is available to all irrespective of income. You or I can visit Aiims and avail free treatment even if we can afford to pay for private treatment. that's what taxes are for. Same logic would apply for gender transition surgeries as well. In any case, govt funded schemes sometimes have income limit, but this can be done irrespective of the persons gender identity.
Ex Facie these judicial proceedings are very unsettling. Justice cannot look like this. Did this litigant manage to speak at all during the hearing. And Open Justice means that people watching should be able to understand what happened. But without knowing the contents of the petition, we don't know anything. And if a litigant is being described as a blackmailer by the Court, he should at least be heard first. The most basic principle of law and justice that no man will be condemned unheard has not been followed here.
In many jurisdictions including the US, court petitions are accessible to the public on court websites. We need to do this in India as well. Justice needs to be open. Justice must always be seen to be done.

Me: What other did we have brother............
But, what if I entered, & worked for a few years not only to save some capital but to gain experience & learn how things move around, & then pivot back to academia?Would it still be very implaussible, kinda?
I'm not completely novice.I hold a diploma in banking & finance from IIBF; and understanding of econ. is swaddled with core macro theories; although I concur, there shall be way more to learn in transactions, other than theory.
Thanks again for your message!
