Initially, I wanted to join a law firm since the work environment and culture does seem appealing to me, both in terms of learning and growth. However, me being an average student coming from a non-nlu background am hesitant to let go of an opportunity at hand, I fear not getting a good law firm package. I have serious financial restrictions/needs hence don't want to settle with the idea of grunt work for a meagre sum. I have only briefly discussed regarding the PPO and my senior said I might get 7-8 LPA as an estimate. If I seriously do consider this offer I will try to negotiate it upto 10 otherwise, I will move on. Wanted to know your thoughts on this. If I take it, what should the future of my career look like? Do you think its a bad idea to join in-house after graduation? Also what things should I keep in mind while choosing my career path?
