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.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. Please understand that there is job crisis. It's Hunger Games / Survival of the fittest. Welcome to reality check.
2. Please know that law is a very specialized field . STEM fields have much much more job opportunities.
3. Please note that you are from NLU (a better institute) with infra , economy and society of a developing third world country primarily dependent on agriculture.
In short, its not you. Its just that your degree is not readily marketable (yet).
4. Please stop comparing your life with everyone else in live-in / getting married / their 'vacay pics' . You would not take a knife and cut yourself. Why do that with your heart? Why abuse yourself emotionally ?
5. Please ignore the 'rat race' . Yes some people achieve so much when so young. Yes we all want best job with best pay and with best home life with our best person. Well, too much to ask for . Accept and let go .
point 5 is not meant to discourage . Acceptance does not mean that we keep hand in hand and sit. But just trying to goad you into 'non-attached work' . You just try - take a break and try again.
Hope you do best. I'll be cheering for you. keep me in your prayers this evening. I am struggling too.
