So far, the editions have been really good. A good quality moot problem with decent judges.
The arrangement wrt stay and food, is not that good though. It doesn't bother me but to some, it might.
You have to face an interview to qualify for the course by the same panel. Hence, the batch that it constitutes is of highly experienced individuals in the field, along with many students having pre-requisite knowledge about the subject. The main objective of the participants eventually turn out to socialise and network.
My 2 cents would be to question yourself -
1. Can you scoop out enough time to dedicate to the course; 3 times a week for about 8 months and complete all the exams, presentations and research papers without hassle?
2. Do you have basic knowledge (above average in my opinion) to understand the faculty or even your batchmates?
3. Will this course add anything to your knowledge?
If you are affirmative with the answers, please go ahead and enrol yourself but if not, do not eat up a seat of a deserving or another candidate who needs it more than you.
KT seems to be a little offboard and parleys huge disconnect in terms of the dynamics within the firm at large.

Why don't you go back to Mamata's office and confess you couldn't do your job? Considering how leftist she is, you may still get your paycheck!
Good set of clients. Not too crazy hours. Teammates are polite.
Founder stays in the US and runs the firm like a US company/ travels occasionally to India. There have been multiple exits recently, so that regular churn can affect workload and team dynamics.
Pay is better at higher levels.
Someone please drop the honest reviews
"It's amusing that someone who touts the difficulty and prestige of litigation spends so much time throwing tantrums online. Maybe if you invested half the energy you use to belittle others into your own practice, you'd have less time to worry about what everyone else is doing."
Buddy you're the one who's has written an entire essay here, you sure you alright! Looks like I hurt your feelings.
"Real advocates don't need to tear others down to feel accomplished. My friend, what do you gain by belittling others? Maybe it's time to focus on your own practice and let others do their jobs in peace."
Says the guy who has spent more energy in this one rant than most senior counsel spend prepping for hearings. Maybe channel that passion into your pleadings instead of treating online forums like a catharsis session.
"I know plenty of individuals who come from challenging financial backgrounds and have joined law firms through sheer hard work—much like any dedicated litigating lawyer. You have no right to judge them or dismiss their efforts. Perhaps instead of casting judgments, you should reflect on why you feel the need to demean others to elevate yourself. But if venting your frustrations on the internet helps you cope with whatever's lacking in your career, who am I to stop you? Just remember, respect in our profession is earned through merit and professionalism—not through childish insults and unfounded arrogance."
And then there’s the irony of your little lecture on professionalism. “Childish insults and unfounded arrogance,” you say, while delivering a textbook case of sanctimony with a side of condescension. Pot, meet kettle. If respect is “earned through merit,” perhaps you should invest less time moralizing online and more time proving yourself in the courtroom.Lastly, your insistence that others stop “worrying about what everyone else is doing” is rich, considering you’ve written a novella’s worth of unsolicited advice here. Who’s the one pressed, exactly? Spoiler alert: it’s you. Also for a supreme court lawyer the language you use is very plain, you need to level up buddy if you want to thrive at SC. You can't keep blaming second-generation lawyers for your failures for the rest of your life buddy.
Which is that country?
Thanks.
Also, can you guys please give us an update on the case? We read in the papers that the BMS CEO was summoned by the cops but he never showed up. What's the scene now?
1. One firm ghosted me after the interview, only to later inform me—weeks later—that they couldn’t proceed since my enrollment wasn’t finalized.
2. Another firm simply stopped communicating mid-process.
3. The last one dragged the process out for two months without giving me a clear 'yes' or 'no' in the end.
I’ve also tried reaching out to partners on LinkedIn. Some don’t respond, while others do but only to say, “no vacancies at the moment” or to direct me to a generic email address.
Now, I’ve started applying again, but so far, no confirmations or interviews. I have decent internship experience—it’s not extraordinary, but enough that I’d hope my applications would at least warrant a response.
Given the situation, I’m considering a more direct approach: calling firms after submitting my application. From a professional standpoint, does this seem like a good strategy? Would love to hear your thoughts or any advice.
Shows the utter incompetence of the ED (which is supposedly investigating the Mumbai ticket scam) and the contempt with which criminals hold the police and our courts. It's now crystal clear that there is a well-oiled scam happening, with full complicity of BookMyShow, where most tickets are reserved for nepo kid children of government officers big businessmen and and Bollywood actors, with just a measly few tickets reserved for the public out which pretty much all are being sold in black.
Shame on the Modi government for turning a blind eye to this!!
1. Please find a job in your home town.
2. So?
Look, you'll be paid for your abilities and output and how's the economics at the firm. Pay can't be linked to these factors.
Academia was not your calling but mistake. You must amend your mistake as soon as possible.
would appreciate any leads
I did a big mistake. I mistakenly uploaded blank undertaking form and unattested documents in my aibe 19 registration form. My exams are going on and i just did this mistake out of pressure. Pls help me. What should I do? I had sent my all original documents to them through email and incident form. Will they check it or correct it? Or not?

OP's post was simply trying to understand why people from well-off backgrounds choose to join corporate law. It wasn't an invitation for your off-topic and disrespectful rant, which didn't even answer the question.
