Well the market is very stagnant in terms of litigation in IDT at the moment, this can be attributed because of many factors, including the fact that the GST Appellate Tribunal has not been constituted till date. And job opportunities were always very limited, post Covid the situation has become even worse, as there is virtually no rotation of resources in T-1 firms. My suggestion, if you get a job at LKS or ELP, then only think of venturing into this practice area. Else, stay away, you will be stuck in this practice area for good, I can vouch for that through personal experience. It is like quick sand the more time you spend, the more entangled and trap you get. Think carefully, before entering this space, and my suggestion if you have an option to choose any other practice, then do so, stay away from IDT at all cost.
supposing one starts at one of these two firms in Customs, say. not GST. Where does one go from there?
