It is easier to realise this in hindsight, but I greatly undersold myself while writing this post, and while things are not ideal, things are not bad either. I have a pretty good CGPA and rank and I genuinely think my skills align with this profession, so I am pretty sure I'm gonna stick this out.
Thank you for complimenting my anxious energy though! Mostly it works against my own head but gives some moments of clarity as well :)
While an emotion-driven intent would be ideal, I couldn't drive such intent through logic as well, and hence the post. Even when I tried to rationalise it, I found most laws alike in terms of my skill base or propensity to learn, thus no differentiating factor.
This kind of behaviour wont make you a very successful lawyer. An MBA might give you a decent manager job to handle for ages.
But to be able to develop an 'intentional personality', you have to first be clear about what you 'intend'. Once you are clear about your intent, then you can resolve determination to see the intent through.
I think at least one of these should work out. If not, you can even consider Jindal for an MBA. Easy to get admission and they have tie-ups with some good places abroad.
As the title suggests, I'm in my fourth year, I'm from a Tier 2-3 NLU, and I feel like not only have my prospects diminished as my law school journey has progressed, but I haven't been able to pick a specific area of interest, unlike a lot of my batchmates.
I had been interested in IPR since my 3rd-ish year but have been recently thinking of dropping this interest and cutting my losses early after seeing the lack of placements in that area from my university, and also on receiving the general consensus that IPR doesn't pay much. I don't have a lot of big names on my CV apart from erstwhile (?) Tier 1 firm where prospects of getting a PPO seem very dim.
I feel very directionless currently and am very confused as to where I should branch out, subject-area-wise. I am ready to pick up a law that I haven't worked as much in (since I think liking any subject at this stage is very superficial), but I would genuinely prefer starting with a high package. Any suggestions, advice, and criticism would be most welcome!
