What exactly is the reward for going above and beyond in litigation? Another 5-10 years of struggle where you barely break even in the hope of making senior advocate after 20 years?

Firms sabko issliye opportunity nhi deti kyuki unka kaam varna sirf sabko assess karne mai chala jayega
Having explored other practice areas during my internships, and M&A was clearly the best fit, so switching practice areas doesn't feel like the solution.
For those who have been in a similar spot, how did you manage to sustain this work long-term? Did you eventually pivot in-house, move into a non-legal role, or leave the industry entirely? Any advice or perspective would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

There are dumb kids and smart kids, even among the privileged. And unless you were on the Bertie Wooster level of thick, you would never come to this site to get advice if you really had as much privilege as this person claims to have.

It is imperative that you apply to as many Judicial Chambers as you can to maximise your chances.
Intriguingly, I happened to study at a T-1000 law school in West Bengal (located at some obscure corner of the wide wide world xd) yet I converted 2 Judicial Chambers, including a Collegium Judge. I did have extensive HC exposure though, with multiple judicial internships at the HC level,and I had worked as a long-term intern/trainee under the tutelage of a doyen of the Criminal Bar at Cal HC, so I did possess relevant experience.
Be that as it may, keep applying and I'm positive that you will get through.
I wish to shift my practice area to commercial litigation, wcc, ADR, preferably in Delhi. I have some experience in appearing before tribunals and courts.
I wish to shift to T1/T2 firm, preferably a place where the salary is not in peanuts + get mix of both the worlds (before diving deep into the galaxy of IDT (hole 🕳️)
Looking forward to people’s experience in switching areas
If possible please also drop in initials and names of partners and advocates
Shift with partner- no
Inshort, not even Big Law partners can be experts at this moment but all of them are in a race to potray themselves to be crypto experts before the industry gets legally recognised and regulations come in akin to VARA of Dubai in India(Might take years for that to happen).
Finally, more legal work in the industry is on the products side and requirements of regulatory checks with stock trading industry for the new initiatives in the trading activites of VDA's.
I don't know what am I going to do. Can you all suggest me other alternatives or just help me out in any way possible?
I'll be extremely grateful.
Would especially appreciate advice from anyone who has actually gone through the SRA qualified-lawyer/SQE exemption process, or knows someone who has.
also be clear about bare minimum processes, compliances, clearances and make sure to go through the electricity act, its important sections and electricity rules. best of luck!
Will that create a problem for enrollment in State bar council?
