Oh cool. Becoming corporate shells who have no time for family and other things that matter to them. It's become so normal for people to say this. If your "wAll sTReAT CUltUre" suggests normalising working for 70+ hours per week and and if i don't even work for 40hrs, I'm not t1 material, I'm sorry I don't want in. You can keep your culture. Its not that I hate working. But I don't have time or energy for me anymore. I end up wasting time on social media because what else is there if I've come home to just to eat and sleep to get ready for next day's grind. Everything I do everyday is towards either work, or going to work, or coming back from work. There are only two hours for myself per day (about 17 percent of my day.) . I don't even know if I'm earning enough money right now to retire. I can't even retire.

braindead people, he did not compare ram with Hitler. he gave an precedent of majoritarianism and its perils

his argument is completely valid, educational institutes should not play any religious songs, especially a provocative song like this which goes against the ideas this country is build upon.

Is he a Hindu? If so, then how is it not his right to criticise his own religion? And how are your religious beliefs so fragile as to get affected by his opinions? Hinduism is probably the only religion that allows for criticism of itself from within. Please let it stay that way. Moreover, if you believe that gaining footage is his only objective, then why give him further footage with your actions?

Interned in blr office, can say that they are all decent professionals, have good work. When i interned, they hired a business development professional to improve their social media presence amongst other things. I worked with litigation team of Mr. Manu kulkarni, which was great. You get lots of research work, but no stipend

Apply to Symbiosis Pune (SLAT), Jindal Global (LSAT), ILS Pune (Maharashtra CET), KIIT Bhubaneswar, Symbiosis Noida (SLAT), Nirma (CLAT or Mgt quota), NMIMS Mumbai.

If fee not an issue go for Jindal. Prefer Symbiosis Pune after that.

That's better than half of NLUs. Never drop a year. All the best.

Unfortunately, all said and done, they rule the asset management, funds and regulatory practice areas in India like a boss. Their super success has been a heartburn for many, as can be seen here. The team is paid and treated so well that headhunters cannot poach any of their stars and similarly difficult is the entry at lateral level as they prefer to train and treat their freshers well who serve them for seriously long. That is why you will see no attrition at the senior level. Stick together and play the premium game as market leader is the best strategy after all. Every large player in the market is on their clientele, every second large premium industry event being sponsored by them. They are quickly becoming a Bugatti and some ppl are still stuck with Lamborghini and Dharavi so yes joke is on you. Its always a treat to see an underdog emerging as a winner to surprise and displeasure of many.

I agree with you. Women managers somehow just don't cut it.

I work at a T2 boutique in Mumbai which is famous for being a female driven firm (i think we have like 83% women staff or something). We have 4 partners, 3 of them are women. These 3 women have made life hell for everyone, the non-stop shouting and yelling at every little thing, their random whimsical nature, that mean girl attitude, honestly it's very difficult to stick around here, no wonder we have such a great attrition rate. I have worked with male seniors too in my previous firms but comparatively they're way more relaxed and easy to work with.

I am a 2023 graduate who joined the B&F practice of a Tier-2 firm in Mumbai last year and had the best team I could ask for. I was placed through a PPO at the firm, and shared an excellent rapport with the team and partner. However, I was not inclined to work in this area, and wanted to make an early switch to another practice area of my interest (TMT). I approached the partner and spoke to her about it - she tried to reason with me at first, said I'd performed very well in my time there and to rethink my decision to leave - even offered me a break to take some time off and rethink. I did not want to take a break and keep them waiting as it'd be unfair for them to have someone not very interested in that particular practice area, so I decided to leave and look for other jobs. I could have left after having another job in hand - there were multiple reasons I did not do that. One, my mental health was in shambles, I know it's rare but although I absolutely loved the partner and my team, i absolutely disliked the practice area. Secondly, I have multiple TMT internships and a few moot achievements and I was confident to find a decent job after leaving. Due to a lack of direction and I'd say being desperate for a job in my final year, I thought I'd give a shot at this job, and took it up. The partner at my previous firm was so kind, she even offered to speak with her contacts in other firms on my behalf, if I needed her help. She went on to say that if I were to change my mind, I could return to the firm and I'd be welcome back. Now that I've quit, I want suggestions on what to do next...what is the ideal way of applying to firms as someone with 6 months pqe (so a fresher) in a different practice area...the only good thing is I shared an excellent rapport with my previous team, so I've no bad records. My academic credentials are also decent (graduated top 10% of the batch). I took some time off and worked on my mental health, had saved up enough to survive on my own for some time, and now will start the job application process. Any suggestions/insights will be helpful.

Yeah thats why they top all the funds rankings and get first slots. Every big global asset manager probably uses ICUL for their regulatory and funds work in India. Have the biggest and best paid funds team in India. Unanimous view and known facts in the market so better to give a fair review for someone to get info right. cheers

The title.

I know that law firm jobs run on transactions and they are cyclical or seasonal (as in sometimes you may not have work other times you have a lot of work) but is it impossible to have a firm wherein you have not more than 8-10 hours of work every year. In U.S. and U.K. as well, law firms are known to have long work hours compared to average work hours. Why so? Why does a law firm with decent work hours not survive long (Pay, clients would prefer those firms who get things done faster or are there other reasons.)

Over the past few months, I have seen systematic attacks on the Indian judiciary, especially by "lawyers" with politically vested interests. Since elections are coming up, these type of videos are being circulated everywhere, criticising the judiciary, the CJI, the collegium etc. As lawyers, future advocates, judges etc where do you stand ? Do you think the independence of judiciary is at risk ? Do you believe we will see major reforms after Modi's 3rd win ?

"But certainly not Indian military." Clap Clap Clap. And I am a Tier 1 NLU student.

Firstly, you can try for Indian territorial Army. You can try for NCC. Short service commission etc. The easiest to get into will be NCC>Territorial army>Short Service commission.

No offence, sharm aata likhne me yeh sab? Literally, what crap is fed into these people. Such hatred for India and her military.

I am no "Siachen pe humare jawan khare hai" in all arguments person. I definitely agree that India can improve a lot in all aspects. From better conditions for women to better infrastructure.

How can anybody in their right minds think of joining any military except of their motherland? UN Peace corps, sure. Par aap kaha likhe UN Peace corps. And I am sure the French army has been used for colonisation in the past. And you want to apply to that?

Dekho, US ki tv show aur pronoun pronoun khel ke reality nahi badal jaegi. Reality is that we alone, not even the US, are in Nuclear neighbourhood. Pak and China both have good enough militaries. Pak economy might be in shit, but their weapons are all imported. Rangers are talented. And China is a superpower.

And both want to destroy us. No matter how much crap you have read against the Army in North East and Kashmir, remember, we are in an extremely hostile neighbourhood.

That only thing which I demand from every Indian, is patriotism. Mat do tax, gaali do desh ko, par agar yeh khyal aa raha hai ki I will join some other country military, then it is treason. And you do not deserve the Karnataka or the Central's govt. subsidy to study.

Please do not make such generalisation, there are a lot of toxic and rude af male partners and equally many who are women, I dont think this has to do with gender particularly. I dont see why you assume that a woman shouldn't behave like that when it's normal for male partners to be like that.

Second, women are not taken as seriously as men and have to put up a rude farce to get that, if they are calm and happy to everyone they are taken for granted.

2 suggestions - (aur science science mat chillana)

1. Don't do "that" often. Yes, minerals are lost when you do that and it leads to grey hair and thin hair. Later P**n induced ED ka bhi chances hai. Simple women would stop exciting you.

2. Do some exercise everyday. This will increase blood flow. Something like 10 mins treadmill, 10 mins cycling, 10 mins cross trainer.

3. Buy mahabhringraj tel. It has helped me the most. Link - https://shorturl.at/bnoyV . Use it once a week. Sham me lagao, maalish, massage karo aur subah wash it.

4. You can also go to the barber once a week and have him do maalish. It will increase blood flow to your hair. It will cost you Rs 70-80.

5. Eat fruits. Eat atleast 3 full boiled eggs in 1 week.

6. One thing you can do for stress management is that, post less on social media. We post, we get reply, we get stuck in this loop.

Try these things. Maybe it'll help.

We've had non-subject matter experts teach us regularly, some even who've never seen the basic bare acts of Companies Act, let alone alone IBC. They regularly teach outdated case laws and expect us to memorise everything when regular usage of bare acts exists even in corporates. Half of the answers in the keys make no sense, and just to make sure we weren't going crazy, had those cross checked by an actual practitioner. Bold of you to assume we don't follow instructions in class when everything they say is either vague or just plain wrong. The comment above yours tried to remain civil, but clearly you have no such qualms

Certainly wasn't invented by these idealogies of shaming and exploring the youth and still being ungrateful if it doesn't suck up to their ass. It was invented by people who thought outside he box ,weren't ok with the norms and made the change. If the older generation finds it too difficult to work with the youth, they can gladly retire or move on to a role that doesn't require interaction with them. It's ridiculous to shame the younger generation and yet be depending on them for keeping rh capitalist system going.

Didn't he support the education of his staff's daughter who made it to a foreign university? https://indianexpress.com/article/india/cji-honours-sc-cooks-daughter-who-won-us-scholarships-9213095/

Lol, buddy I'm from a better law school than GNLU in nearly every metric. Don't get me wrong, GNLU is today a top-rate place that's competing with the other top NLUs but don't pretend as if what's going on at GNLU is something so special that no other NLU has been able to top. That puffery will be called out.

Every comment I read here about this firm is berating it, especially the banking team for some reason. I'm thinking about lateral applying to the firm and genuinely want to know what it is that people deem the firm a nightmare for so I can decide if this is a place I want to work at or not.

Any insights are appreciated, from associates to interns, everyone.

Okay, but women are shitty managers of other women as well, who generally vouch for having been managed better by a male senior or partner.

Ofc this might be a very new development and only post the metoo era and with men understanding that sexist outlooks are not only outdated but can also gut their own careers.

What is the VC's stance? I don't see a problem with the University policy per se. It's more about the people who execute the policy especially the SWO who is known for making insensitive comments. I think the first step would be to replace the SWO with someone more sensitive and understanding towards mental health problems.

The Foreign Legion's entry requirements are very stringent. If I were in your shoes, I would have considered joining a decent international mercenaries organization that is carrying out operations in Ukraine/Israel. Some of them pay well over 100K USD.

Alternatively, you can consider appearing for JAG. Indian military has its fair share of flaws, but to be serious, I would think twice before relinquishing my citizenship to join a foreign military.

Men don't take women seriously if they're nice. So we often have to be aggressive and sometimes nasty. We don't like it either. But I've seen male subordinates do things that my male colleagues have told them nicely once. The same kind of thing if I ask they won't do it till I remind or yell at them.

This is not unique to law, it happens in other professions as well. Some women have written about it as well - look up.

Deferring is not possible. You will have to take a year loss. See comment on this thread https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/343627-Is-deferring-admission-to-NLS-possible

Let me take on: see it’s not a firm. It’s a one-women show with one partner and couple of associates.

If I say anything here legally India would be moderating/taking it down.

So, it’s better to contact the past employees.

At this moment I can surely say that what is advertised is tip of iceberg, you can derive the rest details by getting in touch.

1) jurisphere is not at all great having tested it myself. the culmination of multiple sources seldom gives a reliable answer.

2) reminds me of this recent quote by a former googler gaurav aggarwal, ""I advise a few tech companies and I realise how shallow the AI capabilities are in India," he says. "Unfortunately, most AI companies in India are just wrappers, they are just following OpenAI APIs and building some cute little applications on top of it. They are not deep AI companies at all. In fact, there are very few people in India who know how to train models in India." jurisphere is another such wrapper but not even done well.

There is a class-based discrimination that goes on at NLS. It's very subtle, it won't be direct discrimination but people with high financial backing will not make friends with you and will not take you seriously. The discrimination is not based on ranks. If your rank was 1.5k but you come from a rich family, you should not have a problem. Having said that, things are slowly changing with the increased batch size, you will find your share of people, don't think that you need to have a lot of friends, have a small circle and enjoy your time here.

In terms of opportunities, it should not affect much, you will get the same opportunities but not having socially/financially powerful friends may hurt sometimes.

"Arbitrarily set answer keys" - you mean the answer that the teacher believes to be true and has mentioned accordingly in class, as opposed to you thinking that what you know about the subject being the real truth. If you cannot follow instructions given in class, then you don't learn to follow instructions at work. Which is more often than not the reason why you mess up.

Why are people just looking for a reason to hate on Law School? Is it jealousy because student welfare issues at NLS are dealt with directly by the Chief Justice of India? Or because the VC is a high calibre alumnus?

Not to make this a measuring contest, but getting the CJI to oversee this issue is a brilliant move by the VC. Now Law Schoolites can have access to best in class (among Indian unis) mental health support.

NUJS' course with Dillon's was neither a distance course nor online unlike the iPleaders courses. Hence it did not need any separate approval from the UGC. It was simply closed down because Lord Taluk's minions hated the success of that course and managed to convince the EC to shut down everything en masse. Even the certificate programmes that NUJS used to run by itself were closed down for the same reason. As for NLSIU and NALSAR, according to this list, they aren't approved to run any distance or online course on law either.

deferring is not possible. What you can instead do is take admission now and not attend classes which will lead to a year loss and then start your law school next year. You will not be charged the fees for the entire year next year, they will only charge some examination fees.

This will not hamper your job prospects as the marksheet does not go to your recruiter, only your CV goes and even if it goes, you can probably explain the situation. However, if you are looking for a good foreign LLM then it will hamper your chances.
