Can you please start working first. Just open linkedin, there are so many fresher positions in ECM across india
He is known to be a racists and has referred to one ex colleague as a “black and white” album. He also called a female colleague “mummy” since she was eldest female member in the team at that point.
They are NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS, GNLU, NLUJ, NLIU and HNLU.
- Are the inner circle NLUs those which have tier 1 status? Like a prestigious Ivy League/Russell Group set of colleges?
- What if an outer circle NLU improves with time and deserves tier 1 status? Will the logo be changed to include it in the inner circle? The obvious candidate for this is MNLU Mumbai, in another 10-15 years.
- Conversely, what about NLUs like HNLU and NLIU, which are regressing with time? Certainly many would debate if HNLU deserves tier 1 status.
She then asked what position I had applied for, and I clarified that I had applied for the Trainee Associate position, and she's the one who confirmed for the interview as I directly mailed her. Despite that, she acted as if I had sent the wrong application, stating that she wasn’t interested in hiring someone with no experience.
She then told me that she wouldn't be paying a fresher and that I would have to "earn it"—which I agreed with. Later, when I asked when I could join, she said it was up to me—Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday—as if it was some kind of favor she was offering, with no real interest in the conversation.
Now, I’m left wondering—should I even consider joining this place? I’m running out of options, and this is my fourth interview. Every other interview I’ve had has led to ghosting, so at least this time, I’ve gotten some kind of feedback, even if it doesn’t feel all that promising.
Lala ji: "Er...no."
I'm guessing the moderator doesn't live in Delhi and has no clue of the ground reality --- while millions of middle-class income taxpayers like us breathe in poison (as do the poor), we have multi-crorepati farmers, driving expensive cars and paying no income tax, are rampantly burning stubble.
No other way. Unless, existing LRs recommend your name.
I am a recent graduate (2024) with a BBA LLB (Hons.) degree and have been actively seeking job opportunities since January without much success.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest boutique law firms or other opportunities in Mumbai, Delhi, or Bengaluru that align with my profile. Alternatively, if you have any helpful suggestions, contacts, links, or emails that could assist me in my job search, I would greatly appreciate it.
(Preferred salary range: ₹40,000 to ₹50,000 per month)
some also post for openings on linkedin, ylcc, lawctopus and the likes
I'm finding the work a little boring; I'm not learning anything new, there is nothing intellectually stimulating about it. The work that the seniors seem to be doing is also along similar lines. I don't think there's much scope for growth or learning here.
I have always been interested in M&A, transactions. All my internships have been in this area. Would love to switch to a law firm.
Could someone please help me with this? (Especially if there is someone who has made this switch)
1. How do I make the switch?
2. How should I prepare for a switch, what should I be reading/studying etc.?
3. I have a standard 3 month notice period (is there any way I can circumvent this, get it shortened, etc.?)
And what assured MSP and subsidies you are talking about. You will cry once you see our struggles. Farming is not a joke. Not everybody has Audi here.
1. Do they consider first time internship as assessment internships ?
2. Do they pay any stipend for first time internships?
3. What are the vacancy and PPO scenes in the disputes team ?
4. What is the package offered to freshers in the Delhi office ?
Pay depends on whether you're still studying or have graduated.
Interview: along with your CV, work on that long ass form they give. Sometimes they ask from this form.
Tip: Everybody likes cheap labour. So have a good offer at hand to negotiate with while entering. And have a good offer or some other bargaining chip at the time of conversion discussion. Be polite, don't be rude with the nego. But ensure that they don't keep extracting cheap labour from you in the form of paralegalship. have a mental deadline that you won't do it for more than 3-6 months.
But yea lmfao please avoid, it was not a good place to be for me or the people I have spoke to our experiences with about and they hire a lot from GLC.
Also, good luck trying to get the HR to respond after your interview. HR is uncooperative (don’t let your guard down) - best do your follow up, etc. through someone inside the firm.
I haven’t heard back from them yet though.
Granted sometimes there might not be enough hours in the 9AM to 9PM grind, but the workarounds to that are endless. You can have a 30min-1hr workout for even 4 days a week and reap the same benefits you’d get from working out 7 days a week consistently.
The human body is extremely adaptable. All you need to do is want it bad enough and have a life outside of work.
How can you name such a mediocre guy in this ?
Patna
Jabalpur
Jaipur
Nagpur
Indore
Bhopal
Work culture, pay, growth etc.
Good people to work with?
In substance the work is mundane and mostly clerical like copy pasting things from website to excel and sometimes youll have no work. An example would be - They conduct a lot of seminars from firms end you will do the admin type work through which theyll send invites, researching those firms.
Trilegal practically has no competition team right now. At least 3 associates have left post NKU's departure - one to ttA and other two to Sam
If you are having evidence with more clarity, please share the same with adequate proof and citations
Suddenly in 2024, they did not intake LL.M. Students and for 2025, the illegally joined CLAT Consortium in order to decieve and attract law aspirants as IIULER is an NLU! The act is so shameful.
None of the LL.M. alumnus is being seen anywhere!
The Moot Court hall is very small (even though sofa-like cushion seats are given to the audience). The single building of IIULER itself shows how facilities are lacking in the so-called branded institution! Many Private affiliated Law Colleges has much more infrastructure, library facilities and acreage than IIULER Goa
And by banking I mean investment bankers and a long list of capital ventures.
On the end of the tunnel as we see the light we got to see the listing deals and also some listing gains if we take some share through private placement.
Ps. Keep hustling
