We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Cons.
1. You need to be sure which team they're putting you on, a few of my friends are in corp banking and the work is tedious and uninspiring, for those of us in litigation it's even worse cause crappy work + often we have to go for visits to remote places and deal with all sorts of people.
2. Pay is not gonna be good, unless you're working with the behemoth that pays 12LPA (ykwho). The rest of us started at slightly better than what an Infosys trainee engineer gets.
Pros.
1. Work life balance and n number of holidays as people call it quit by 8PM at all costs, and usually by 6 so there's a lot more time to do other stuff if you want to.
2. More WLB allows you to venture for other things, or follow your passion if making money isn't your sole ambition in life.
