Could anyone share suggestions?
Both your suggestions make a lot of sense. Thank you so much!
May be my ignorance but haven't heard many cases of people from Gaggar having such a route to T1, either. Plus, if my understanding is correct, the pay at Gaggar is beyond terrible.
If you want to start your career in competition ONLY, consider the Research Assistant position at the CCI if the timeline for it hasn't already passed. Alternatively, considering the number of GC jobs floating around and attrition rates prevailing, start out in GC at a good firm (if you think you can wrangle one based on your assessments) and then try to do a practice area shift, 6 months in or so. In my view, you'll be much better perceived then.
