Legitimate excuses, I guess. But I want to see where they are AFTER they make enough money to cover their expenses. Will they stick to their word and pursue a career in human rights? 🤔
Seriously, time to move team, book and all. This BS is never ending. Fact is, the banger is broken. The rust has eaten away the body. The new lick of paint is another attempt at keeping the racket going.
metrics and contributing to the decisions on the new structure to be … when was the last time a consulting firm added value at a law firm
In India ?
Automatic promotions till SA and then no growth. She actively creates hostile situation for counsels to make them leave or just does not promote to partner.
Team is otherwise nice except for this one SA (lateral hire) who is known to be horrible throughout the firm.
Amount of work is usually low but, the team operates weirdly with multiple level reviews which tends to create an artificial environment of having more work.
Overall, do not choose this team if you want to learn, or have some growth in your career.
P.S.: All of the above is second hand information so, take it with a grain of salt or verify yourself.

Big money in banglore this year?

Made about 31-31.5L as an A2 (including bill share)
However, many of my batchmates have already interned at firms like Dhir & Dhir, Dua Associates, Hammurabi, Khurana & Khurana, etc. While I know everyone's journey is different, it's made me wonder whether I'm putting myself at a disadvantage by not focusing on more traditional law firm internships.
My long-term goal is not to build a career at a law firm. I'm more interested in data privacy roles, particularly in-house or with organisations like EY, Deloitte, or similar consulting firms. My current plan is to gain one or two strong law firm internships (preferably in technology law/privacy) and then focus primarily on in-house or consulting internships aligned with data privacy.
For those working in technology law, data privacy, or in-house legal roles, does this seem like a coherent path? Or would you recommend spending more time building a traditional law firm profile first?
I'd really appreciate any insights from practitioners or those who have followed a similar path.
- "Push yourself to be a better intern"
- We also want to know your hobbies
- Be honest about your faults
- Maybe there is burnout, but clients are demanding too
- Work ethic is important
Also, great work by GNLU to have this podcast series! Currently the best such initiative among all the law schools. The student hosts are also well chosen: smart and good communication skills.
