" I say that no opportunity is worth incurring life risks of this kind"- you wont die cause you had to work late a few times and actually contribute. Calm down.

Somehow yall dont think that your life is at risk when youre out all night clubbing but when youre at the office working- suddenly you want to be home by sundown cause you live in some crazy unsafe horror movie. Get a grip. Stop being so fragile. Your fragility does not make you morally superior.

No intern in the world is being given more than they can handle- because no associate in the world will get away with blaming the intern when stuff goes wrong. They won't risk it. They are forced at the threat of their job to delegate responsibly. And internships are completely voluntary- if you dont want a law firm job- why intern? why want a law firm job if the internship is going so badly? go become a shop clerk, an uber driver or even just a litigating lawyer if you want that much control over your day. Take matters that you want when you want- surely if youre such an asset that youre carrying a whole firm on your back that should be easy work for you.

What is the assumption that youre entitled to have this very lucrative very well paying career- that 95% of the law graduates in this country are shut off from- without working for it?

Piece of cake and easily achievable. If you work from age 25 to 60 and visit an average of 2 countries a year, that's 70 countries. If you take 6 months off after you hit 60 and travel across a whole continent, you can visit 30 more countries in a year. So 100 countries by age 61. Very, very easy.

Maybe I've just been saturated with Western news media lately but it does feel like the left is becoming increasingly unrecognisable to me. And I've been on the left my whole life. But since when did we become the side that cannot define or protect women's rights? The side that seeks not to limit the role of religion in social life- but indeed to enshrine religion and religious laws as sacrosanct and untouchable even though they lead to inequality and the suffering of women? Since when did we become the side that thinks the court should be a super-legislature that should make laws through decisions even though they are unelected? Since when did we lose touch with the people of the country and faith in electoral democracy? Since when did we start morally equivocating and supporting terrorist organizations and calling the murder of babies "resistance"? India- the country of nonviolent resistance- the thing we perfected that brought us freedom- we think that its okay to kill children and keep hostages and hide behind hospitals as resistance those are our freedom fighters now?

We used to understand these things once? No one in the aftermath of 9/11 argued that the attack was the sole responsibility of the US government even though really it was the US govt that had armed the mujahideen historically. We understood that some things were just morally wrong- war and terrorism being the chief among them! Because we looked at the human cost of both of those things!

We understood that our struggles must be based in material reality- not in imagined identity one subscribes to as easily and thoughtlessly as following someone on twitter. We understood that women face unique challenges based in their sex based oppression. We understood that religion was the opiate of the masters and we did not do any priest or clerics bidding for them.

And we understood the value of democratic decision-making- almost every progressive change in this country- from , hindu code bills, reservations, land reforms, anti dowry laws, anti caste atrocity laws- all came to be through the legislative democratic process. Not through a bunch of priests sitting in New Delhi being our moral betters. We didnt even give that one a shot. We don't even try to do things right.

We don't take principled stances anymore- not for democracy and not even for free speech. We don't actually care about industrial workers or farmers anymore- we just take credit for their work when they do manage to protest but we dont support them day in and day out, we exploit them.

We have completely given up on class as a category, we dont talk about the poor- instead we talk about the kashmiri tribal nonbinary hiv survivor with one leg shorter than the other because we're all about identity now.

We dont see the anti-caste project as one that we should all share- we want to keep savarna scholars from writing on caste cause "appropriating". In fact we dont want savarna people to talk about it at all.. As if this shameful history is not the history of every Indian.

We're even defending possible treason- because hey china needs representation too- the left in India has always been patriotic. The left of Nehru and Gandhi and Ambedkar wouldnt have been okay with this stuff. We are no longer really patriots- were just a tribe who wants to press the advantage anyway they can- doesnt that sound like not much different to the right wing to you?

We're just absorbed in the project of aping the west- getting further and further away from the common man who actually needs a left, and canceling each other over nonsense.

I'm a far way from voting for the right because it is equally abhorrent and no one, not a single person on the right- offers anything better in terms of moral leadership or principled stances or baseline respect for democracy. But how does one not get listless? How does one not feel discomfort in continuing to be on the left when the left has become unrecognisable?

I don't think he says they are the best in the country as a fact. He emphasizes they are his go to people on those subjects. Which I think he is entitled to - you can agree or disagree and have your own favorites as well. Honestly I am not familiar with the other 2 apart from Haripriya, and she is pretty good at what she does.

Buying luxury watches for 5 lakhs and mocking those who buy cheaper stuff, buying a Mini Cooper, wining and dining at the Taj and judging people on the basis of what they order, buying diamonds for your girlfriend ... This seems to be the life of an average corporate lawyer, going by LI comments. My main concerns are as follows:

- While such expenses perhaps mean nothing to partners, I do think it's quite a lot for an associate. Are associates really expected to splurge like this? Are they supposed to take a loan with the idea that they pay back after they become partners?

- If I wear a Titan watch, Bata shoes and drive a Swift, will I really be shunned ? Will I really be rejected by colleagues, bosses and potential dates? Or does it vary from firm to firm? The thing is, I want to save as much as I can for an LLM or MBA abroad.

- Finally, I am from an elite school (as are my parents) and have been told by classmates that I speak English with a "posh" accent (which I just picked up from my parents). Will this offset the negatives of wearing cheap brands?

You're right, I've seen that lawyers who are valued by the partner for their absolute dedication to the cause by putting in unnatural and absurd hours for this bs job at the cost of their physical and mental health (loss of eyesight, severe anxiety development, loss of childbearing ability etc sadly) will def have a chance at getting sabbaticals.

Normal well adjusted people who don't burn themselves out for their PA/partner to earn 10-20% more while they pocket at best 5% more of their measly pay, don't get such sabbaticals.

Hi. I have interned at AZB and SAM. SAM took top rankers from my Uni. AZB took everyone and anyone (they even took random people from JGLS through RCC though their profile was meh).

I had received an internship offer from S&R too (got placed before I got to it). I had initially been rejected from S&R, and a semester later had gotten an internship. The only change that I had on my CV was publications. So my two cents would be to have a well rounded profile. Also, I am not from a T-10 NLU.

Please do not roll over your credit card dues for something like watch. Absolutely bad financial advice. The interest rates are exorbitant.

If you want to buy, save up and then buy. Worst case scenario, try a no cost Bajaj finance EMI or something, if a costly watch is something you absolutely need.

I'm a partner at a Top firm. I was left with no job offers at the end of our recruitment days. I started with a very small firm and worked my a** off. I switched to a bigger brand after 1.5 years and never looked back after that. Getting a great job at the end of your college is an initial boost. It all evens out later with determination and work. A decade later you'll laugh at your fresh graduate self for having worried so much. Initially it will be tough because most of your classmates will earn much more than you but nobody said it was a 100m dash.........

Having interned at ▮▮▮, I have come to a sad realisation that is at ▮▮▮ is the most overworked swamped little pathetic sh*ithole to work for. I interned there last year in the winters and trust me the fogg of the city skyline was less gloomier than the doom that pervaded the ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮. I was made to work not only during the days but very late at night. There was no sense of empathy kindness or concern for safety. How does the firm expect to take care of the safety of its interns, girls or boys who return late from work. The firm justifies this in the name of providing exposure, however training interns on job only cuts cost for the firm as it would not have to later incur cost on orientation and training of the employee like in other sectors. In addition, interns do a large chunk of billable work and are paid in dog food again in name of providing exposure. They constantly throw the bogey that interns are potential associates and so should taste what life of an associate would look like in the future but how then does the firm justify paying the potential associate less than a tenth of a month's salary. Stipend for B.tech undergrads is nearly equal to the salary of an associate. It is evident therefore that interns are mere cause cutting devices employed by the firm. Associates literally dump all kinds of work big or small mechanical or brainy and expect us to deliver these on short notice but who has in the first place given so much work to the associates? Quite clearly the partners. This is all a planned effort. PS: Some of you people may think that this is a rant of some privileged kid whose ungrateful for the opportunity that he had of working in a T1 firm. To those insensitive irrational airheads, I say that no opportunity is worth incurring life risks of this kind. I am sad for this community which pulls interns down, takes appreciation from work of their toil and hurls indignities in there review forms. I am an associate at a boutique now but still witness the plight of my dear interns. Thought of sharing this with you as I looked at their sad state.

Hi, thanks for asking. Please don't join this firm. The work hours are cruel and painful. You'll not even get time to call your family. The only time I am able to call my mom is on weekends. They treat you like slaves. Not trying to pull anyone down but this needs to be called out ASAP. Flaunting salaries on LinkedIn won't help if you treat your associates like shit

Wasn't expecting that! But will undoubtedly boost her legal practice.

You can find good single accommodation in this budget, not in the areas you desire though. You'll have to go towards Dahisar or Borivali on the western line, else Thane or mulund on the Central Line. It is a long commute, yes, but definitely more space, more value for money and more peaceful.

Once you're A2 or above at a Tier 1, you can definitely considering splurging on a good (3-4L) watch. Then this expenditure would only be about 1.5x the monthly salary. By that time, you'd also have some savings. The deficit can easily be financed through the credit-card, and you can roll-over the amount (after paying the minimum due). For things like good watches, this kind of budgeting is required. Otherwise, if you keep waiting to have enough liquid cash in the bank, your peers will definitely get ahead of you in the impression they create (among senior lawyers, clients etc), as they are getting closer to getting the call-up to Senior Associate. By then, these things definitely matter.

I have received a job offer at a T1 which has stopped me from doing further internships other than the same firm. However, I wish to experience other things which I couldn't due to corporate internships. Can I ask for an exemption from HRs for this policy if the internship I want to pursue is unrelated to the firm's practice areas like Public Policy, NGOs or Startups?

Bro mein sach bol raha hu i was a rebellious satyavaadi student but then they promised me a gold medal and exception for an assessment internship ...................

Who told you things are wrong at Santra Law University Nagpur? Huh? Have you been to NLU Tripura? Huh? NLU Sikkim? NLU Pondicherry? NLU Prayagraj? Before commenting, you better have visited them all!

Our visionary sir Viju received an extension, though it's as clear as a foggy night how he managed to secure it. Of course, he was able to do so thanks to his professional and academic knowledge, and his unmatched expertise in managing national law universities. He's been a maestro of NLU symphonies prior to his joining at Santra Law University. The people and student fraternity of NLUJA were so impressed with him and his contributions to NLUJA that they practically begged Santra Law University to be graced by his presence on campus. Due to his unparalleled expertise and management skills, NLUJA was blessed, and so is Santra Law University.

The Examination department and other key positions in the university have been handed over to individuals considered trustworthy and capable. After all, who can appreciate the true worth of a real 'juari' (master) better than the 'juari' himself? These folks operate at the same level of efficiency and credibility as our prof Viju, ensuring the university's smooth operation. They make sure that Santra gets smuggled to private farms from the university with ease. Among the two professors (three if we include Viju), one is an eternal ally of Viju, ensuring that all foot soldiers remain obedient and loyal to the Viju dynasty. The other is a cunning and adaptable figure who plays both sides, a dedicated pawn in Viju's grand chessboard to conquer the university's common folks.

Politics within the faculty (foot soldiers) is intense here, but don't be fooled. Last year, some professors supposedly approached the High Court judges of the Nagpur Bench, complaining about the state of affairs in the university. Just kidding, of course! They visited the HC judges, not to complain, but to convey that the work undertaken by their honorable leader Viju had helped the university reach NIRF (Santra Law University's Notable Irregular Rankings and Feats) Rank 1 and gain 6 'Ghodes' scholars within a short span of 9 years. In other NLUs, politics might kill quality legal education, but not in our Santra Law University. It's just a friendly 'nok-jhok' within a family. After all, Santra Law University is a family, led by the old guard, Viju, and his comrades, who have been together since the dawn of time.

Recently, the university faced significant issues, especially in the Examination Department, leading to a mild rebuke from the Nagpur Bench. But don't worry; it's all a hoax. You know, you can't believe anything available on Indian Kanoon. Even if a case was filed, it was swiftly withdrawn because it was obviously the students' fault. Santra Law University saves face like a pro and doesn't rely on IndianKanoon judgments. Haven't you learned this in your superior NLUs? To learn more about these cases, search for 'Santra Law University Nagpur' on IndianKanoon.org, sorting by most recent.

The Department of Management (DoM) is always working tirelessly to keep senior law professors in the university happy and satisfied. That's because Viju and his trusted individuals exert serious control over the uni. Those who might dare to revolt or expose administrative mistakes are more likely to lose their appointments. [By the way, did you hear about the recent change in the authority of the Assistant Registrar? They've been replaced by a trustworthy soldier of Viju.]

When it comes to appointments, nearly every faculty member here has a relative (spouse, husband, nephew, uncle) permanently employed in the university. Thank Viju's leadership for that, and his secret formula for keeping certain individuals content. To verify this, just ask any 'Nagpur ke phunters,' and they'll tell you how a relative of a senior professor in the Department of Social Science wields control over the Department of Management.

The university has masterfully avoided participating in the Notoriously Incomplete Rankings Fiasco (NIRF) to ensure public disclosures are kept to a minimum. Kudos to Professor Viju for this strategic move. You can confirm this on the university's official website, where they proudly declare their NIRF-avoidance.

Moreover, the university has already secured a 50 crore INR loan from SBI for the purpose of completing the second phase of the campus expansion. But isn't it peculiar that they're releasing tenders for furnishing the Chancellor's house and faculty housing instead of focusing on the campus expansion? Well, my dear friends, it's all part of our visionary Viju's grand plan. He's making sure he's available 24/7 to the students of Santra Law University, no matter if the library is closed for 24 hours or there's a water shortage for 3 days. Our visionary leader is commendable and selfless, always putting the needs of the students first.

You can verify all of this by visiting the university website or consulting PWD-01 Nagpur's website.

I am more than a decade old in this profession.

For the past five years i have been running my independent practice. With not too many matters (money is not too troubling), my social interaction work-wise got severely restricted. Recently i was offered a part time role of a visiting faculty in a college. But the staff seemed like micromanagers and i ended up refusing the opportunity as i feared signing up for a full time role in the garb of a part time role with below poverty line "salary".

However, at this juncture i suspected something else was at play due to my immense overthinking and increasing insomnia. I consulted a mental health professional and have been diagnosed with crippling GAD.

Thanks for your patience, and my question finally comes- What could be a good way to get back to maybe law-firms/in-house/ any place, with my disputes background, which allows me some good amount of peer interaction, and helps my anxiety rather than making it worse! (Which is with most things in this profession).?

Looking forward to answers, or maybe someone who has already dealt with something like this and come out victorious on the other side.

TIA.

Ignore all the trolls below, or the naive frontbenchers telling you to "be yourself, and it doesn't matter". It absolutely matters, or you won't get re-invited to the right parties. If you don't know your way around alcohol, you will stick out in some circles.

First of all, you're framing your question wrong. It's not just about what to order. The more important thing is what NOT to do. You need to just get the basics right, and not be laughed at.

Here's everything you need to know.

1. First, as someone said, only wine, whiskey and gin carry cachet.

2. Do not order beer. This is the easiest way to appear nouveau riche/ clueless. Only college kids order it. There are plausible exceptions for craft beer and other hipster things, but its easiest to just ignore beer.

3. Do not order rum. This is the second easiest way to appear clueless. Only college kids order it. Work meetings are the wrong time to revert to Old Monk Nostalgia from college. Again, there are exceptions like Kraken and some Spanish rum, but that is for advanced drinkers, so avoid for now.

3. Do not order vodka. This is the third easiest way to appear clueless. It is uncool and has no cachet.

4. Whiskey. First of all, do not order soda. See above comments about college kids.

5. Only have whiskey with ice ("on the rocks"). It's also OK to have whiskey with some water, but just a "splash". 1 parts whiskey to 3 parts water is generally a good ratio. Any more water and you'll open yourself up to ridicule.

6. DO NOT DRINK WHISKEY LIKE WATER. Sip it slowly. The snobbish whiskey journals advise you to take nothing more than a sip of around a few drops, and let it coat your tongue, before swallowing it. A 30 ml pour should last you around 15-20 sips.

7. It's OK not to know the intricacies of whiskey brands, but here's the basics. Whiskey is divided into "single malt" (it is only made from one distillery) and "blended whiskey" (whiskey from many distilleries is blended into a consistent taste). Single malt is way up there on snob value, because of the "purity" and "unique character".

8. If you're a beginner, it's OK to stick to blends, but order the right brands. Price is generally a good indicator. Just download a few bar menus from Zomato and learn about different brands, then order things that are close in price to the brands I've listed below. But that comes with caveats. Firstly, DO NOT go for Chivas Regal or Johnny Walker Red Label. These are for nouveau riche types who dont understand whiskey, and it is mostly uncles who drink these along with chicken tikka. Order Johnny Walker Double Black ("it is slightly smoky, but not too smoky") or Monkey Shoulder. DO NOT order Johnny Walker Blue Label, unless someone offers it to you first.

9. If you're a beginner, there are some good single malts that are not too intimidating. Avoid Glenfiddich (pronounced Glen-fiddick, DO NOT say "fiditch"), since too many people know it. Glenlivet, Jura or Talisker are all good brands. It is also OK to order Amrut Fusion (Indian brand, but well regarded) or anything Japanese.

10. If the above brands are not available and you're stuck, don't worry. Audibly ask for JW Double Black or Talisker, and if they say that's not available then just pick something at random that isn't Chivas Regal or Glenfiddich.

11. Openly say you've mostly only had (insert brand from above) because you love the taste, but have not had too many other whiskies. Don't try to fake it beyond that. If you've done everything above, you've done enough to blend in (sorry not sorry) and not become a laughing stock.

12. Gin. First of all, the most important thing with gin is not the gin . It's the tonic water. Start by asking what tonic water they have. Fevertree is the gold standard, but Franklin is also good. Otherwise get Sepoy or Jimmys. If you don't want it too sweet, get Svami. As a last resort, take Schweppes. DO NOT ORDER SPRITE OR 7 UP OR COKE WITH GIN.

13.You can drink whiskey without ice, but you need ice for gin. At least 3 cubes, though even 8-10 cubes is OK. Use that to decide when to order what (time of day, weather). Generally, cold weather= whiskey with single or no ice cube, warm weather = gin. Daytime= gin, night= whiskey, but gin is also OK at night.

14. With gin, there are lots of brands, but there are a few that are "safe". Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray, Hendricks are all good in foreign gins. For Indian gins, Hapusa and Stranger and Sons are good. Avoid Beefeater, Gordons and Greater Than.

15. Most gins are citrusy, so you can have them with a slice of lemon. The exception is Hendricks. You need to have Hendricks with cucumber, and preferably with cucumber tonic water. DO NOT HAVE HENDRICKS WITH LEMON.

16. Avoid cocktails, unless the people you want to impress are also having them. DO NOT ever order Long Island Ice Tea. They use cheap alcohol and you will get a headache. Avoid Margaritas and Mojitos. Avoid anything with Blue Curacao. If you don't have an option with cocktails, just order a martini. Read the room and see if you can order a pinacolada. It's also very safe to ask the server if they can make a hot cocktail for you, and then go with whatever they recommend.

17. Slowly start reading about whiskies and gins, and trying them out with friends or even on your own. Use the above tips, until you get there.

Hope this helps. Will do a Part 2 on wine if I have time.

No, honestly it's really badly conducted and the proposition is always unimaginative and boring for a consti moot. Also 2 judges are always faculty every year and all are super woke and prefer those arguments.

Honestly consti moots should be longer and involve deeper issues, not already settled issues like language of schools, reservation.

0. Vacancy to accommodate you (considering partner/ client references, tier 1 NLU quotas, long term seasoned interns, day 0, laterals to be made A0s from tier 2s with actual exp.)- (100%)

Jab 5me se 5 ka substantially complete hojaye, miljageyi ppo.

This is accurate for the first and second years. Nevertheless, despite COVID, most of the people placed in the fifth year are the ones without that P/F stuff.

If you want to have it a bit easier regarding internships/placements at Jindal, you do need to maintain a high GPA. Yes in a particular batch grossing over 1000 kids, the competition between the top 50 is cut throat, but it is more diligence than anything.

This pertained to people who had taken Pass/Fail as an alternative to there true grade. Offers of those who had a high number of P/Fs, which essentially falsified the entire GPA, were retracted. And "the firm that stresses on CGPA" really isn't the one who hires the top scorers at Jindal since they prefer going to the brother :)

I had a super senior tell me something once: "Not everyone gets a T1 job and not everyone wants a T1 job". Ever since, I have been very comfortable in my skin, bagged many T2 internships while my friends and batchmates started getting placed in T1s (both through contacts and via campus). Got a T2 job and still on the grind; but the learning curve has been very steep and I am thankful for every opportunity which has come my way. Its a marathon and not a sprint, enjoy the process and you will get wherever destiny has it for you. Best of luck!

Firm recruiters reading this thread, please hear me out. The current professors are giving easy grades and therefore inflating ranks. Pls take into consideration.

@kian this is verified information by an insider, also you can mark it trollish if someone in an official position objects, I just want recruiters to be careful.

vacancies, law school and previous internships. Also partners generally value publications over moots (unless you are sitting for disputes) and will assess the comfort that the team holds with that particular intern as far his/her deliverables, temparament and work ethics are concerned.

I'm a Tier 3 [V sem] NLU student with almost no contacts. I had sent an email to Luthra's internship application, and I received a standard reply stating:

->'We regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you an internship at this time. You may send us an application again if you wish to apply for an internship at our firm in the future.'

Could someone explain the likelihood of securing an internship if I apply in advance next time? Or is it of no use since most people tend to obtain these internship slots through connections?Could you provide a list of other firms that offer internships on a 'first-come' basis?[ i know thats a distant reality anyways any lead or guidance would help me ]

Seems, MNLU Mumbai however is placed too high. The Mumbai location preference is irrelevant for it due to attendance issues it just cannot compare with the freedom which GLC PGCL JCCL provides, due to this placements aren't great either. I'd definitely put it wayy below wbnujs

If that's really the case, then Rhodes seems to have reduced itself to a minority-based scholarship for Indians for people from Kashmir, gender and religious minorities, PwDs, etc. That is not a bad thing by itself and I feel it should be encouraged since merit is a function of social opportunity, but it does raise doubts about the quality of people actually being selected and their inherent abilities beyond surface-level identities. The West will never understand Indians the way an insider will and they are more than happy to patronise people on such basis it seems.

Even in the 4th years a lot of people become hostile. Batch toppers are hated and so are people with internships. College life in India is grossly underrated for the politics which the filthy play in groups to suppress individuals. I see this as a very solid reason why most successful people out of India become into cold and less soft on emotions adult. People force you to be an asshole. Do not care of others and keep going my friend. Wish luck

While people have been talking a lot about teams, offices, vacancies, etc., I have a curiousity as to what does actually matter? What are the parameters that the recruiters base their decision on- is it work ethics? knowledge of law or the particular practice area? deliverables?

As far as I know, Anhad main practise area is labour and employment and is a growing firm in this field. Singhania is a big name but your chances of getting any work from them is very less since their interns take is too much. Also, at Anhad since they are boutique law firm, you will get more opportunity and there are more chances of directly learning from partners. Please take reviews of associates of Anhad. For Singhania, there are ample reviews on LI. And law career is no as bad as people show in LI, try to find practise area which thrill you. Also, try to intern in companies, that will give you fair idea of work setting in general. All the best. Do share your review here.

Are you really this clueless? There are a few thousand people with money and Ivy League / Oxbridge degrees clambering to get into these clubs. Meanwhile, members of these clubs are all complaining about "new money" trying to get in and trying to limit memberships because they can't get space at the bar any more.

A law firm partner, however glamorous it may seem to an AP Royal Oak fanboy, has almost no chance. They either get on the waiting list (Gymkhana was last interviewing people who applied in the 1980s, Golf Club was taking people from the 1990s), or they become one of the 4 or 5 people the Government can nominate for membership each year. All the best to those corporate law partners competing against Anand Mahindra and Ritu Beri.

IIC is still possible, they take around 25 lawyers a year. But most of those are senior advocates, I've only seen 3-4 partners over there.

Panag & Babu has sent Jai Dehadrai a legal notice saying that it was he who leaked the photos and cropped out his own pic. Mahua's supporters have tweeted the uncropped pic:

https://twitter.com/pharmacuriosity/status/1713794707338281451/photo/1

Meanwhile, a girl has tweeted:

I was an intern with @MahuaMoitra

and met SC lawyer, Jai Anant Dehadrai twice- both times he’s told me to “tell Mahua to join BJP”. Jai’s accusation is clearly a result of the personal resentment that he harbours against her and the jealousy is showing. It’s just so typical of an insecure man. Jai’s presence on the campaign can only be compared to that of an over entitled man-child. He has clearly used her to further his career and make connections in political circles. Jai has hung around and attached himself while their ties were good and clearly attacked her when their ties severed.

Yes, a lot. after having seen all sides of litigation, firm culture and companies. I can fairly say in house offers a lot many opportunities and balance to you than firm in general. But then again, you can also get stuck in companies which have horrible work culture. One of my senior who was part of KPMG contracts team told me that all big 4's have the same firm culture. Ache insan mile toh sab badiya vrna swarg mein bhi dhuki ho jaogey. But all in all, companies do gives you job security and balance. Also, once you have working experience of corporate, then it is easy for you to jump ships.
