So stupid and ignorant. Life in India is much better and you are better wealth wise as well. Also, this is a forum for lawyers, so please dont mislead people.
Lawyers aren't meant for abroad. Only people who can't make it in India (techies) go abroad as cyber coolies. Of course there are exceptions, as a general guiding principle, life in India is best for a lawyer.
Be your own boss in a first world country. Get your family there in a few years. Enjoyy…
Just stop thinking about abroad and focus on your legal career in India.
The better route if you consider, you can practice as an attorney in California or in case you want to move to London give QSE after practicing here in INDIA for 2-3 years.
Another thing I am suggesting you, to do is signing up for Canadian Practice it is much more easier and you can pass there bar test. However it was take anywhere from 1-2 years for getting a VISA.(after getting PR you can call your parents there too).
However, please be aware you are stepping into unknown terrain, you will be running from post of pillar and you won't be having a great lavish life or so called "wanderlust" feeling for few years as you are an immigrant not a native.
On the Contrary you can to MBA, as it has more to offer than LLM.
Hope you achieve success in life bud.
Final year, BBA-LLB, sub-par gpa, and an overall unimpressive CV, at a top 5 NIRF law school. My parents really want me to move away from India, and I love the idea of migrating to a new country, wanderlust and what not. So,
1. Which country is best for us of the legal profession(ie good legal job market, accepting of foreign trained lawyers, easy to get into, etc.)
2. Would a masters(LLM, MBA, etc.) be of any help?
3. How important is work experience in migrating? Would a few years of working at a low/mid-tier firm increase one's chances?
4. If you're certain the legal profession won't be an option, what career paths would you suggest that are similar or at least comparable to a corpo lawyer
Feel free to share any other important details, and note to all nationalists who will spew hate at me for attempting to leave, I love my country, I just wanna experience new things.
